With a little more build practice and optimization I bet they could arrive at an Adamas. :D Then they could go belly-up, too. | ||

Why go through all the trouble of building a carbon mockup of a Yamaha, just to say its crisper, mellower and had more sustain. Just pick up an Adamas and an Elite, its pretty obvious. I dunno, maybe i'm in a critical sort a mood. I did like the fancy colored graphs though! | ||

Like the man said, comparing a 1537 to an Adamas would have been pretty simple. Then compare a CA to a Takamine or Breedlove, and your research woulda been complete. But you wouldn't have burnt-up as much time... And isn't that what Research is all about? :p | ||

So here, we have as close to a head to head , a sort of, "all things other things being equal" comparison for which I've heard way too many people 'round here whine about... Why do I even bother? BTW. My long time pet gerbil contracted Hepatitis. Please send prayers. | ||

Put my Pings I can't break 80 with in the hands of Tiger Woods and he's gonna shoot 65. What's my point? I have no idea. | ||
