Two very different guitars.
I had a '98 000-28 and was comparing it to my '90 000-16. There's an incredible difference in tone between these two guitars. Aside from differences of mahogany and rosewood and the ages I'm guessing that most of the tonal difference is due to the bracing. What is your opinion?
Both recordings were done with a Audio-Technica 2020 USB mic going into Garage Band. Mic placement was the same. Guitars were both outfitted with new sets of identical strings.
