    I would also add a suggestion of a Bourgeois if you can get your hands on one. Expensive but oh my god. 

    That said, if you can get to an Atkin, Martin and Brook in a single day I'll be amazed if you don't fall in love with at least one of them
    Yeah that would be ace a Bourgeois but it's getting out of my sensible price range, however there's a Lowden in stock I like the look of

    To be fair I don't know where Bourgeois sits in UK pricing. I bought mine in USD so it wasn't too much more than an Atkin, but I guess in the UK it's probably another +20%

    Guitar Village have a few in stock, pretty much all start from £4k, the Eastman collaboration is just under £4k.  Crikey that is a lot for a largely MIC guitar.

    hmm good question  -  personally Id say not as sparkly as  r/w  not as warm as hog  nowhere near as spanky as maple (based on Taylors)

    I'd be terrified to even take that out of its case. You would hear it wince if I even approached something of that quality.
