i like the one you have now so much better. i much prefer the mahoghany to the rosewood b&s, and i love their clear pickguards over their ugly tortoise shell ones

cheap, yes

best tone imo? yes with the exception of some of the really pricey woods. i think it sounds better than rosewood, maple, cherry, bubinga, cocobolo, wenge, and most cedars. i have however played some cedars, walnuts, and one brazillian rosewood that i liked more.

all preference i think

Jean Larrivee can take three twigs, a bag of pubes, and a quart of midget feces and make it sound better than a Taylor

:lol: even if i had the money i wouldn't.

i'm looking on larrivee forums.. but it's all $2k + :(

the only guitar shop around me that carries them usually charges pretty close to retail, and i don't think they carry used guitars.. so although I could play some there, i'd probably be SOL finding a good deal.

I dunno but that looks like a tiny guitar. If you want to play it unplugged I would go with one that has a bigger body.
