Awesome guys!
Can anyone comment on the wood choices. I also had my eye on the SR1800 y'see, and I just wondered how the two compare tonally?
SR1300 body: Ash & Walnut top/Mahogany back body
SR1800 body: Rosewood & Flamed Maple top/Walnut & Mahogany back body.
I'm not a wood aficionado, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I noticed that the SR1800 features BOTH Rosewood and Mahogany (typically warm sounding woods). Does this means that SR1800 would be 'warmer' sounding overall compared to the SR1300, which features an Ash top (Ash being typically brighter)? Or am I totally mistaken? lol.

Technically you're correct on the tonal differences but the difference would be so minor as to be inconsequential.
I would just choose whichever you prefer aesthetically, to be honest.
