I was looking for it; found it.
I have a 50 year old Tama dreadnaught (a Martin clone) and a Godin Metropolis Limited Mahogany/Cedar dreadnaught. I set out looking for two things -- a "folk" size guitar (slightly smaller than dreadnaught), and one that would combine the best tonal qualities of the Tama and Godin Metropolis. I knew that the second feature would be a little difficult to find. But, Breedlove's… read more description of Myrtlewood as a tone wood is right on the mark (in my opinion) and gave my exactly what I wanted. I have had the guitar for a couple of months now; bought the all Myrtlewood natural model. It gives me everything I want, whether finger picking, finger style or strumming; whether folk, blues, or upbeat; slight adjustments in approach make it cry or sing. I can sense a nice, slight "aging" in the wood already, which will only improve even more over time. Added bonus is the beauty of Myrtlewood; plus, the Myrtlewood used for each guitar is totally distinct, making for a very unique guitar. Yes, I am thoroughly pleased.
