Here is just a short review, I will post something more detailed when I have more time in the future, maybe.
First of all, I came across a '73 F 50R. So I am comparing a '73 F50R and an '80 F50 (both Westerly) to an '05 Tacoma.
The '80 maple is a completely different sounding guitar than the other two. The rosewoods are deep and bright at the same time, while the maple just seems to be a very mellow warm all around.
If I had to keep just one, I would take the '73R. If I kept just two I would choose the '73 and the '80.
But if the '73 were not in the picture and I could only choose between the Tacoma Rosewood and the maple, then I would take the Tacoma.
All this from a guy who can't change from E to A in less than the time it that it takes Tiger Woods to sink a ten-foot putt. Maybe I should take up golf instead.
Regards,
