I'm glad this has been useful. This first round was mp's I considered to be common. For fun, I may do comparisons with my Wick Heritage. Even the 4AL versions of standard/Heritage are a bit different, and the 4ABL adds a new twist.

This is quite useful. Thanks for doing this Dave. I have the 4AL along with the K&G 3.5 and the Demondrae Warburton that I may do the same thing on. The 3AL I believe is the biggest you compared. 2 of the 3 I have are bigger than the 4AL so that might be useful. Your recording technique, editing and results are admittedly way better than mine. I still haven't quite found the right mixture to record myself well, but I'm working on it. If I can get it respectable, I will post.

I found David's 5 comparisons quite enlightening, and the use of 4AL as the baseline is particularly welcome. I hope that you John will be soon posting your own comparos using the same 4AL baseline... I am particularly interested in a contrast between 4AL and the Warburton Demondrae.
