Review: "The 19" and 20" pair turn everything up a notch or two and are awe-inspiring as a result. The smaller of the two sizzles in a very distinctive fashion and we have to admit that it was perhaps our least favourite of the selection.
The 20" is a ‘kill ´em all´ proposition that lays waste to all in its path every time you strike it - in a good way - thanks to its relatively sparky attack and vast mid-range muscle; it´s fantastic to ride, creating a thick wave of tone on which guitarists can surf solo for hours (and hours, knowing them). For us, the 19" falls between stools a little bit - not as rabid as the 20" and less quick to react as the 18" Medium Heavy. You might, on the other hand, adore it."
