IMO #2 treble is better, has better sustain and the harmonics are richer.
#1's treble has more fundamental and the harmonics seemed to be a further distance away.
Bass wide #1 bass is more even and #2 need more effort to bring out the bass.
The volume wise, #1 just a little louder than #2.
Overall they are similar but yet different.
I used both Aquila Albastro strings on them.
The Aquila nylgut string always works well for Torres fan bracing guitar. (exclude Hauser bracing)

When we compare to the redgate, both of them are louder than the redgate...
Redgate's note are very even much like a piano.
Bach pieces sounded nice on the redgate but not Spanish pieces where the notes need more character.

Towards the end of the session, the #2 did open up and seemed louder.
The bass became more prominent.









Ans: 1st guitar is #2 and 2nd guitar is #1, now which one do you like?
