Best Spruce Mahogany Guitar that you have played?

Bear with me on this. Tanglewood Michael Sanden Master Series TSM-3.

The tone is majestic, piano like, and sustains for days. Actually, sounds very much like that Martin 000 in the Martin Simpson video.

I went to the London Acoustic Show on Saturday and played guitars from mid price to second mortgage price. The guitar I fell in love with was an Alvarez Delta 00. Solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides and sounded really nice and played beautifully. A snip at £435...but the wife had confiscated my credit card!

Nice.  They seem to be a few more 00's they are releasing.  I'm really interested actually, I've been on the look out for a well priced 14 fret 00. 

1 3/4" nut, 2 1/4" string spacing at the saddle
Large V neck profile. 
Rear Shifted Bracing!!  (WOW!!!)

The USA street price is $399, so maybe it will have a slightly lower street price than the price above.

The Delta I played had just come into the country and they offered it to me at £410.... Yes I should have bought it but the missus has implemented a one in, one out policy and I don't have one to sacrifice. Lovely guitar if you get chance to try one.
