What else would a guy named Marr own but a MacKenzie & Marr "Tofino"? Cedar top, Akoumé back and sides, mahogany neck, Gotoh tuning machines and my name on the headstock. Call me biased, but playing this guitar feels about as right as it gets.

I can't speak to individual composition (cedar top, laminate wild cherry back and sides vs spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides), but as a package the Cedar has a warmer tone, the Spruce top is a little brighter. I like playing Rhythm on the Cedar while someone's improvising with the Spruce (or vice versa).

My main gigging acoustic is a 1986 Alvarez-Yairi DY-66. I traded a 1976 Gibson Blueridge for it. The Gibson had a twisted neck that nobody could bring back.
I played the Yairi and was blown away. It's Maple back and sides with a Cedar top that I have absolutely destroyed (I don't have what would be considered a "textbook" strumming style.
The thing keeps on kickin', though...
