Cedar vs. Spruce - which guitar plays it better?
I am playing here Matteo Carcassi's gorgeously composed Study No. 16 from his Melodic and Progressive Studies, Op. 60, on two very different guitars: a cedar double-top guitar by Martin Blackwell and a spruce top traditional guitar by Douglass Scott.
I want to ask for your opinion on which sound you prefer for this classical piece. Which one plays it better? Which guitar brings out the texture/voice separation better? Which guitar brings out the emotion better? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments below; I'd love to read what you think!
Both guitars have been recorded in exactly the same way with exactly the same amount of reverb added. Please enjoy!
The score can be found in my edition of the Carcassi Studies:
