I'm primarily an electric player. I have a Martin GPCA04 but haven't played others really, especially higher end ones.
I had my eye on a Martin 000-15m all mahogany and thought I'd fall in love with it. I drove ab9ut and hour and a half to a store and they held it for me. When I played it, I wasn't blown away. I saw a few others hanging nearby. A D28 and a 000-18 and a 00-18, or so I thought. I had to try them.
I learned a good bit about acoustics in an hour of playing. The D28 kicked ass and really liked it. Then I tried the 000-18 with mahogany sides and back and Sitka Spruce top. I really dig it and sounded great. Then I grabbed the 00-18 which is a bit smaller. Sounded amazing and played so easy. Turns out, it was a 28. Rosewood sides and back.
I really like rosewood and just fell in love with the guitar. I sold a few things, it's tax season, and got a bonus at work recently. On top of that, was on sale because the new models just came in. Really had one of those moments where you play a guitar in a store and must have it.
