Got to spend some time yesterday with my SA and a friend's Pava. I was surprised how very similar these sounded. My SA is X braced redwood top. I thought it would be warmer, which it was, but not a lot. The G was stronger and the SA was a bit louder. The Pava was warm and clear too, both much different from something like an MT.
Both were bought used, one for $1400, one for $2200. Very much in the same sonic camp. So with all the what does a SA sound like questions, very much like a Pava.
