"it felt almost like it was playing itself" When added to all those other positives it is most certainly a guitar that speaks to you. A wonderful and, sadly, rare experience! You have given a great definition of the characteristics of a guitar that speaks to you maninashed! One of those guitars where ignoring its call will leave you forever wondering and feeling somewhat foolish. There are two such acoustic instruments from my past where I still wonder "if only ....", despite being very happy with what I now have. Mark

I think quality of woods and craftsmanship will be 'felt' , in fact I know from experience it is, between a £100 Tanglewood and a £2k whatever. I have a £2k plus Guild Orpheum and I have had a £400 spalted maple Tanglewood. It's interesting to pick up one then immediately swap it for the other and all the time asking 'is there really that much difference?' There is. I play the Guild and think why doesn't the Tanglewood have THAT tone and why do I want to just keep on playing the Guild but the Tanglewood I can take it or leave it? Is it purely psychological? I know one is four times the price of the other. Having said that I have an amazing Far East produced Stanford D28 copy. It is absolutely amazing for the price. I play it then I pick up the Martin D18V and conclude why one is considerably more costly than the other. In the end it's personal taste and of course what budget is available. And finally, I've played some terrible Gibson electrics over the years and look fondly at my £150 Ibanez!!!!😳

I look at it this way, if you find a guitar that you like then the name n price tag are irrelevant. but that said we have actually had a cull of most of our cheaper stuff.
