Terrific video, Evan. I did the same experiment with two of Steve's Spruce & Cedar guitars, about 15 years ago. He sent them both to me new, and I settled on the Spruce.

As expected, the spruce has more punch and clarity of the notes, whereas the cedar envelopes the notes in more warmth and is more subtle. If a performer wants express the technical aspects and have each note heard of a piece of music, each note ringing clearly as in a Bach number, the spruce does the job best. However, if the performer wants to convey a sense of fullness and tenderness such a piece from Tarrega should sound, definitely the cedar conveys that feeling best. Both guitars did beautifully in how they excell in their own individual niche. Great playing, by the way!

Very nice. I listened to the whole thing with expensive Sennheiser headphones on and I always preferred the Spruce. The Cedar had a midrange kick that I didn't like. That being said it would be fine in and of its own, if you didn't go back to the spruce. But when you played the same on the spruce it was fantastic and a relief to hear a guitar that was nice and didn't have that boosted midrange to every note. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the midrange of the guitar it self, but every note had a midrange kick in the cedar guitar, this might make it seem louder to you and the audience. The spruce had very good overall balance and a pleasant tone that I prefer. On a slightly different note; personally I will take a good sounding guitars and well balanced guitar any day over loud and badly blanced one. For example I've never had or heard a well balanced double top. I've owned two Dammann's, Ruck double top, Tony Mueller, Michel Bruck, etc etc. all in effort to gain a few db's so people can hear me better. I've found that it's totally not worth it. These days I want a good balance above and beyond anything else. Every one of the double top's I've had and have heard were all horribly balanced and had F#'s or G's - or some note close to those two - that always sounded like a boom box. This goes for the new one you have a video of too, sorry to be so blunt. DT's have these bass notes that pop out without control. Both guitars you're playing are well balanced but for me the spruce took the trophy - I'd also pick it over the Canin in your video - it sounds inferior to either of these. but in this video the spruce sounds more neutral - to me - and is the one I'd walk out of the store with. Thanks for all the work you do. Fantastic channel.

I have 1969 Kohno No. 5 with a spruce top. I got it about two years ago. I was looking for new strings for it, considering La Bella Argento which I had really like on my Godin a few years back. Then I read that, since spruce tends to bring out the high end, low tension strings might be the way to go. I thought I would give it a try and the sound is amazing. Melancholy as you say. I just love it! But, yes that cedar sounds incredible.

The spruce is more responsive when you try to get different timbre, be it by playing closer to the bridge or changing the angle of your right hand, doing rest stroke, etc. The low strings can have an agressive, sometimes metallic sound, depending on your strings and mainly on how the top is built. Cedar doesn't have that range of variation in its sound, which is really convenient for certain playing styles/music and I'd argue it's a bit easier for beginners. It even has a far shorter development process than spruce.

for me the difference in the sound has always been in the middle strings. separation is clearer in the spruce top than in the cedar which is why, in my opinion, you get that warmth, and spanish flavor from cedar. spruce notes are clear all the way through and sometimes, the most extreme example being a spruce lattice braced guitar with carbon strings, some of the treble string notes can be a bit "nasal" (especially the first string). at least that is what I have always heard

To be a fair test of course, the spruce guitar needs a few years to sound good, whereas, the cedar guitar will sound good from its inception. I'm sure you know this. Nonetheless, something can be learned from your test. But, my point is that the spruce guitar will "mellow out" in maybe 10 years and sound fantastic for romantic music! Your playing sounds fantastic on both. Beautiful expression, attack, hand positioning, dexterity! Okay, I'm a musician (piano major), and I play classical guitar for enjoyment. I like the Spruce better. I like its clarity between notes and its purity. And, I can't help but feel that, in time, it will just get better and better (unlike the cedar which basically remains the same). The "better and better" part excites me about the Spruce Top. After some years, you will be able to show more expression--loud and soft, crisp and mellow--with the Spruce guitar. Thanks for sharing. Again, you sound "great" on both!

My current nylon string guitar is a $500 Breedlove cedar hybrid with a pickup, cutaway, and somewhat narrow neck. It’s the exact opposite of what I was shopping for, but it was by far the best playing and sounding guitar in the shop with guitars up to four times the price. I bought it on the spot. I haven’t owned a nylon string guitar in years, and I the best advice I got was to buy a $300 guitar and then save up for a $5,000 handmade guitar. This is my ~$300 guitar after inflation. When playing alone, it sounds great, but when playing around friends, it often outside, and cars are loud! A non-cutaway, spruce guitar would be much better for cutting through the noise. So, my next guitar will be a traditional, spruce guitar. Maybe I’ll find a good $300 one, or it might be handmade. We will see what comes along. But frankly, my investment should be in more high quality practice time. The player has much more value than any guitar.

I think the spruce top sounded great for the Preludio no 2 passage- nice compliment to the articulation and "pop" that the wood brings. Overall, I preferred the roundness and warmer tones that the cedar brought. Personally, I think it would be satisfying to pay attention to choosing which pieces to play or record on which instrument (every detail ultimately matters right?), but I do think there's no right or wrong regarding wood choice- only artistic freedom/expression. Also, I have to point out that everything you played sounded incredibly beautiful; especially tone-wise regarding the fashion in which you played each note and technique-wise.

Thank you for this video, Evan. Both guitars sounded absolutely beautiful. I felt like your Cedar guitar sounded more mellow overall. Your melody lines seemed to stand out a bit more than the arpeggios or chordal parts with the Spruce guitar, almost like there were different instruments playing the lines. The same lines on the cedar seemed to me to be blended like they were made by one instrument. The second piece Preludio No. 2 sounded beautiful but somewhat stark and metalic on the Spruce. I couldn't hear all the parts as distinctly as I could on the Cedar. The Cedar handled your volume better and somehow I could hear the multiple lines distinctly. I doubt it, but could it have been that there was greater volume coming out of the Cedar and you were redlining the sound levels a bit? I think I only liked the Spruce on the softer slow pieces. The music with more of an edge to them and more volume and intensity wasn't as pleasing to my ears on the Spruce. I wonder if the sound was bouncing off the Brazillian Rosewood back and sides and jumping out kind of pointedly, but somehow flowed out more smoothly from the Indian Rosewood back and sides. I don't know, I'm no expert. it kind of sounded like sounds in an almost empty room with a concrete floor vs. sounds in a room with an old hardwood floor with some Persian rugs on it. Overall, I love your playing and I love both instruments. I'd pick the Cedar at this point. Thanks for this video. Very helpful i think!

It's on an instrument to instrument basis. I've had cedar guitars that are bright and unforgiving, and spruce guitars that are sweet and warm that disguise every click/bad nail.
