Yes, high-end acoustic guitar is something I seldom experienced, despite I own or owned some nice guitars... the only other high-end guitar in my possession is a Lowden S-35 Rio/alpine spruce.
(a partial view of the stable)
What's the difference between a good acoustic guitar and an acoustic high-end guitar?
The price-tag?
Nahhh!
The woods used?
Maybe...
The sound?
Yes!
Like a voice, it's unique! You cannot be wrong... no misundestandings!
It's something special, harmonically rich, supremely resonant, lively, impressing at every note.
I recently acquired an acoustic guitar made by an italian luthier - Gianni Pedrini - in 1998: mahogany back and sides, italian alpine spruce, zero-fret at nut, no trussrod, no end-pin... 500 grams of resonance, overtones and sonic beauty.
The luthier is - maybe - the last member of old school of Northern Italy luthiery of Gallinotti, Giulietti, Raspagni, the latter where Pedrini worked for long years as an apprentice, first, and then a collaborator and whose master-grade woods supply was inherited by him after Maestro Raspagni passing.

Music coming from an unique instrument, made 20 years ago by an obscure, skilled, gifted italian artisan!
I simply cannot stop playing it.
P.S. - Gianni Pedrini was also the maker of this beast...
... and of this beauty, an Hauser-style classical guitar, made in 1994.
