I took Sweet Wife to the local guitar hut with me last night - with the exception of husbands she usually appreciates the prettier things in life. I showed her the GA4 - she gave it a 'meh' ... I played it for a minute or two and her attitude changed a bit. They didn't have a GA8 on the floor but they did have an 810 that I picked up. She oohed and ogled at its beauty but when I played it she said she liked the sound of the GA4 better. I know the dread sounds different than the GA, but her reaction was interesting.
I still don't know. But the quest is fun.
