Several weeks ago bought an all wood American dream guitar for 1/2 price. It had a small, hard to find crack in the soundboard. It played and sounded good but being mahogany was really low, quiet and different from other guitars I had played.
Because of the uniqueness and exceptional quality, and even price, I decided to get another one.
This one is the American dream ad17eblk. Ovangkol back and sides with black stained spruce top. It suits me to a tee.
I know, $$, I can't afford it any more than anyone else but being close to 75 felt like I couldn't afford to wait for the Goldie locks moment. I have No regrets, it's the perfect guitar for me and I play it 3 or 4 times a day.
It was not well received by the household but in time, it will.

ancient1,

Congratulations on the new Taylor and what a great guitar it is.
Yes I know what you mean, with the sound/tone of Mahogany guitars, you either like them or not, I like both but if I had to choose just one it would be the Spruce.
Keep both if you can or sell on the Mahogany guitar at a later date when you are really sure.
Don't worry or feel guilty about pleasing everyone all the time, maybe they should be pleased that you are happy.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

Mine is a lower end 100 series, but a great guitar. Sometimes the "household" takes time to catch up on great ideas...
