Hey all I'm a Norman b20 lover..at least I was till my headstock broke, my fault of course. Frets were really worn anyway and recently fell in love with the Seagull line..
But I really want a cutaway so I'm considering the B20 again, as well as the B18 which from what I gather is the same but cedar top (and cheaper for some reason?).
Anyone have experience with both, or Seagulls as well as how they compare?
I found the B20 without gloss to be very vibrant sounding, although the bass notes were a bit dull sounding and lacked that nice warm rounded tone that I find Seagull S6/solid wood series seem to have. I did like that the Spruce b20 just sounded better every year in the mid tone chording, it really started to sound like a vintage organ ringing out, I had my last one for well over 10 years.
