VERY cool guitars the "Studio 24" Bob. If I remember correctly, they were marketed as giving the best access to the upper neck of any acoustic guitar at the time.
I haven't been able to directly compare it to a standard D-25. But based on my memory of the many D-25's I've played, it's a bit looser sounding. I attribute that to the scalloped bracing. I think it helps open up the sound and I definitely like it better. That's not to say there aren't great sounding straight-braced D-25s out there. I just haven't played one (yet) that I like better than the D-26. I think @twocorgis can weigh in on if he thinks the D-26's sound is step above or not.Do you like it? Have you compared it to other D-25s?
I think it's easily better than any D25 I've ever played or owned for sure. My problem is that I have a bunch of truly great (and way more expensive) mahogany dreads that it just can't hang with. I'm thinking about selling mine, but the market is so bad right now that I might wait until tax return season time to sell.I haven't been able to directly compare it to a standard D-25.

Can only imagine the sound your D50 projects.
This one still. The BR is on the outs. It’s on the wall. Too hard on shoulder. I will take it every year for Sukkot but that’s it. Great camping guitar. The F30R is the one I play now. Till my 9 year old takes it. Then I need to find another small body Guild
