Can you tell tonally which is which? I assess (in person) the best sounding as the PSD-28 followed closely by the BR-70. The clip is here. (Click on "Play hi-fi")...... Here is another clip Dont be fooled. The BR-70 has as much low end growl as the Stanford IMO. I prefer the overall tone better on the Stanford but the Blueridge is outstanding especially for a non-solid wood guitar..... _______________________________________________ EDIT: OK.......HERE is one more FWIW!

I'll record another sample or 2 and keep the order of the guitars the same as they are in the present clip....... Another clip I added above......

You guys are all wrong so far! Sorry. I'll admit that I need a better recording setup or I need to learn better mic placement. This is more technical than I realized it was. Not like video cam recording. This is definitely more critical and proves that I am in need of a lot more practice. My playing is soooooo sloppy!

And, if I judged correctly by the slider at the bottom of the sound clip, you played the first guitar considerably longer than the other two. So, I'll say the first guitar was the Stanford, 2nd the BR, and 3rd the Aria. In the family: Stanford PSD-21 Martin 000-15 Fender DG100 ________________ Time flies... except on a treadmill.

We have a winner! Thanks for the guesses! Apparently my Aria AD-80 sounds pretty good recorded. It was the first guitar in all the clips. I can definitely hear deeper bass on the Blueridge and Stanford, But the overall tone of the Aria is not bad at all...... Like I've said before, if I wasn't so spoiled with the Stanford tone and deep low bass I would probably give my AD-80 more credit than I do.

The first was bass heavy. The second was brightest and obviously the third one was mid-rangy. I believe sixiron is on to something. You didn't play the second two with the same love as you did the first one. The third one didn't project as well as the first two. This must be due to recording or playing slightly differently. I liked the BR-70 best, though!

I liked the BR-70 best, though! I think I'm just bad at recording Marco. The reality is that the first guitar (Aria) sounds the most suppressed (tonally inhibited and lacking most in bass) in person. The second guitar (Stanford) sounds best (to my ear) and lacks nothing tonally. The Blueridge BR-70 is IMO easy to pick as the favorite however. It has lots of punch as I've mentioned from day 1. If this is characteristic of most of the laminated Blueridges, they are certainly an exceptional bargain. I'll add that it would be interesting to have someone play all 3 of these guitars with my back to them and see if I could determine which is which. I'll bet I could though. They are distinctively different, as you seem to have picked up on. To me they unfortunately, don't sound much different in these recordings.

I would like to hear them played with some really hard strumming patterns in order to see how they sound and to see if any ofthem tend to break up or get that "tinny" sound.

The top on the Aria is Engelmann, which supposedly breaks up under hard strumming. Maybe I'll do an Engelmann, Sitka, Adi test on the next thread.....

It had tons of volume, only equaled by my Stanford PSD-10. The only thing my Aria lacked tonally, was the open, uninhibited, and airy sound of my Stanford. Jeff

My Aria doesn't really break up either. It just isn't as smooth, deep and rich sounding as the Stanfords tend to be. Like I've said before, them Stanfords can spoil a man!
