OK, finished my popcorn...

Keep in mind that nosajwp said "especially if I could find one with a cutaway, Adamas/Elite type soundholes, natural finish, and either a deep or contour bowl." So I can't really answer his question in that I haven't compared that many in that configuration.

BUT, if we talk wood tops, then it's the ol' 1615, that's one-six-one-five, for me! :p
