I immediately thought that C was the 1938 one – it just sounds ‘old timey’.
Only listening to the first two tracks again I thought it was quite clear what was worth $5k and $300. The Martin has more depth and the Taylor is a bit ‘flat’ sounding compared to it…
Guess I have expensive musical tastes 😉

It would’ve been nice if they’d tuned them better!
