Appreciate any feedback.

First, try FQMS at fqms.com . I'm pretty sure they have one and they are easy to deal with.

Secondly, can I borrow it?

The Music Emporium in Lexington, MA had one as of a couple of weeks ago. It's still listed on their site. http://www.themusicemporium.com

Thanks for your responses. Couls anyone tell me if they have a/b'd the mahogany and the rosewood CW. Thanks.

I compared IR to Mahagony and bought the mahogany. It sounds totally different than my D-18 and really holds up to a heavy right hand. Collings gets a much fuller sound from mahogany than Martin. It's not the tongue brace either as I had the brace removed from my D-18.

I'll A/B the CW versus a D2H (sorry, I don't have access to an IR or Braz CW) and get back with you.

If you are interested in my near mint mahogany CW (not mint because it left the store), I'm going to have to sell a guitar or two because we have a baby on the way. I hate to part with any of them and have suggested the baby can sleep in one of the cases for a few months before it really needs a crib. That doesn't seem to be an option.

Thanks tj for your response, and that of others. I have since bought a gorgeous CJ SB. I know, what did I really want? Somehow, this is where I wound up. Thanks again!

I also A/B'd the mahogany and rosewood CW and wound up preferring the mahogany. I was all set to pop for the Brazilian too. Very few guitar makers claim and audible difference betwen Indian and Brazilian rosewood, more cosmetics and collectibility, I'm told.
