Both sound fantastic, but the solid wood has more mid range, and I think more projection overall. And thanks for mentioning me! ❤️🎸😎

Thanks for stopping by! :)
I've been so surprised how the solid top holds up against the all solid one.
And since Sitka is much mellower, these guitars have pretty different timbres, it's not like the all solid one is exactly solid top on steroids.
Both are very inspiring and gorgeous in their own way.

- Both?
- Both is good.

Both sound great. That said, I completely agree that the solid rosewood back and sides add a level of depth and richness that honestly surprised me. I can see why you are impressed with this manufacturer. A really well done video, my friend. The sustain caught my attention on both guitars. Sigma are now in my sights. Appreciate your kindness in mentioning the channel, brother man 👍🏻

Thank you very much for checking my comparison out, Randy!
The new 1957 Epiphone SJ-200 is on it way to me, can't wait to review it!!!
These guitars sound very different from the front and from the player's position, they're very "forward".
While all-solid clearly wins, it's truly surprising how well solid-top holds up against it.
I own 3 Sigmas, 2 all-solid and 1 solid-top, and they're not the most budget friendly guitars, the looks and production are really a step or two above the competition.
I think their best value for money is SDR-45, all-solid sitka-rosewood D-45 for 1500$.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I didn't have a 40-style jumbo!
The sustain is very good, yes.
That's largely due to replacement of HEAVY tuning machines with lightweight ones, bridge ramping, and removing the tone-killing undersaddle elements.
I highly recommend everyone to minimize tuning machine weight (by swapping machines or at least using wooden/plastic buttons) and remove undersaddle pickups.

@@LegsON All great points, brother man 👍🏻

[@0NaiveDreamer0]

Such detailed review
Such similar looking guitars
Such different tone they have
Much wow

[@LegsON]

Thank you VERY much for your time!

Brother , I will have to say that both are beautiful guitars ,, which one the best ,,, that would be hard. I love Adi top and I have a thing for Rosewood ,, then Abalone is my thing also.
So that said I the solid woods just has their own thing , that little "Push" over laminate.
Thanks for sharing this and I will be waiting on the new Epiphone comparison video !

[@LegsON]

Thank YOU for checking my work! :)
Yep, an all-solid abalone-inlaid jumbo would be a dream!
