A30 vs newer 40/50

[Mlcurrie179]

Hi Everyone,

I’m about to pull the trigger on a PRS acoustic and was looking for some advise. I have played and A50 and loved the sound but don’t have access to the 40 or 30. A couple of dealers swear by the A30 (Korea made) that it is better than the 40/50. Anyone have any input? I’m looking at the cutaway versions. Any experience is much appreciated!

I have the A 40 E and LOVE the ovenkal sound that it delivers from the back and sides. The bracing gives really good projection as well. It is pretty mid focused so bear that in mind with the 40. Playabililty kicks @ss. I can't give a direct comparison to the 30....but I don't think you can go wrong with ANY of them.
