I'm curious why my Tacoma-built D50 is so heavy compared to similar higher end Adirondack Spruce and rosewood guitars? According to Will at Spruce Tree Music, it will nonetheless 'eat every one else's lunch' at a guitar pick-off, (I take his word for this) meaning it's pretty loud and projects very well as a bluegrass, flat-picking guitar. Typically guitar makers try to make them as light as possible without being so unsupported as to cave in. My D50, built in '08, is a beautiful looking and sounding guitar, but the weight thing perplexes me. Both my Larrivee and Gibson are a lot lighter. Any thoughts?
