I wonder which one is louder?
And, I wonder which one you will like better in two years time?
And, since you evaluate as a player (which is a good thing), have you been able to sit out in front of these baritones while you play
to hear how they differ to an audience?.......
Steve,
I wish I could answer these questions. The guitars are now with the client. I played them and no one else before they left me.
Maybe Jack will be kind enough to answer.

.......I appreciate the comment about the response time. Makes sense.
Do you think that's possible to speed up, or is this just the way it is w/ baritones?
Steve,
I have played 4 baritones. Three of mine and one Goodall. The Goodall was a wonderful instrument. It was all koa with a 27.5" scale. I think it was quicker to respond, but it also had light strings and a koa top. Mine have been Carpathian, cedar, Adi, and I'm working on a double top figured redwood.
I build light tops and my bridge is pretty light also. I don't know how to speed it up other than more string tension and light top. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
