So I have heard. The spruce wood is said to take a bit longer to age as well. I got most of the calous building done, still working on the pinky strength though.
I typically have been practicing on the acoustic till I can't do clear barre cords anymore and switch to the classical until I can't barre cord on that either. Then I just rest for 10 minutes, and go at it again lol.
I am definitely excited to try the Elixirs as well, but till then, the Martins sound pretty good to me.
