(continuation see previous post)
... or Takamine TAN15C or GB7C [in this case the guitar woods will be the same but the Takamines does not have solid sides and are twice cheaper to the BR)
I’ve just heard the another comparison by the author (BR vs Ibanez [really dislike the brand & the instrument]) and it’s obvious that these comparisons are some kind of tricky marketing moves $-) (LOOK how we (our guitars) sound better!)

Very decent instruments. The Baton Rouge really amaze me by the sound quality. But … slightly incorrect comparison, but namely:
1. Takamine is $600-800 and the BR is $2700 guitar [triple higher price range]
2. Takamine has mahogany back & sides (solid back) & BR has rosewood [Palisander] ones [all solid]
The more right comparison would be the BR Texas Mike vs Takamine TF430SS [regarding, more or less, resemblance of prices ranges, quality of production and timber]

ean10c sounds so good and sweet, for blues rock I prefer the baton. Thanks for this demo
-
Tell that to John Frusciante then... He seems to do quite well as a guitarist
-
i owned the ean10c, i persoally think it has the balance tone between of bass and treble, this is prob due to the combination of cedar top and mahogany back n sides. Baton sounds good to with deep treble sound too.. i reckon both will work wonders plug or unplug.

BTW, how much is the cost for the Baton Rouge?

@elbatiscafo You can, but you shouldn't. Steel string guitars are made for steel strings in every detail. If you put nylon strings, first, the neck is narrower and it'll be more difficult to play with it, since nylon strings are ticker than steel ones. Second of all, the sound won't be like the sound of a classical, but VERY. . . dull.

takamine sounds much better to me, not muddy or confused like the other one in my opinion

Both sound gorgeous, nice demo!
It was about 2000€...
