It's a very nice playing and sounding guitar. I'm so pleased with my AM-50 that I'm considering letting go of my AR-500! (OK, you can pick your jaw up off the table now!) I'm a player, not a collector. The AM-200/205/255 (and the recent unique AM-100) models are beautiful guitars, however, other than asthetics, are they worth (at least) twice what one would pay for an AM-50? I ask the same question regarding the thinner models. Personally, I really don't want to own too many guitars. I'd consider purchasing a more expensive AM if it really was that much better or different sounding or had coil taps, which are hard to come by. How do you AM owners feel? mk   Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, October 03, 2005 - 4:53 pm:    AM200/205/255s sound very different from an AM50 due to the mahogany vs. maple construction. Their ebony finger-boards have different feel as well as tone comparing to the rosewood on the AM50. They are not necessarily better, but quite different.

Maybe I can be persuaded.
