In know there are a lot of buying recommendation post out there so sorry to add to the mix but I haven't seen one comparing these three. Apologize if I missed it.
I have a Mainland Cedar tenor which I like but can't say I love, the sound is a little on the boxy side, for lack of a better description, and harsher than I had expected for a cedar top.
So I thought I look into upgrading. Specifically a tenor, or maybe a concert, that has some more warmth to it without being muddy. I'd prefer to get something made in the US and I have seen some favorable comments about Lopronzi, Covered Bridge and Sailor. Any pros and cons about any of these that could sway me one way or the other are very welcome. Anything else I should consider? Is it worth saving and jumping into the K brands from here? I'd like to keep things under $700-800, which I know limits my options.
I'm currently leaning slightly in the direction of Loprinzi because they are all solid, unlike Sailor, and there isn't a wait list, like Covered Bridge. But I am swayable. Thanks in advance.
