Back with another Cedar vs Spruce comparison, this time with two amazing guitars made by the Canadian luthier Douglass Scott, who builds fantastic traditionally-braced guitars, that pack quite a punch!
His website:

The Spruce guitar (2018) in the videos was mine.

I receive a new Scott next year. The Cedar (2021) is borrowed from a friend - Stephen Oliver, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to compare the two! It always starts as a fun project for my ears only, then 12 hours later into setup, filming, and editing, I have something (hopefully) fun to share with you!

No reverb, or effects added to the video. Recorded using  ‪@daddarioandco‬ XTC45ff strings, with nylon 1st string. Mics: Neumann KM184 pair.
