I walked into Music Theme and asked to try the Ayers. Having heard rumours that Timothys are actually made by Ayers gave me some anticipation for them. The clean no-bling look of the lower-end models somewhat attracted me. The sound was pretty nice as well for the two low-end OM-shaped ones I tried. One was full mahagony, and the other was spruce with mahagony back and sides (I think).
For the price it was being offered at, these are two I would consider if I wasn't looking for the guitar-that-I-would-keep-for-the-rest-of-my-life. They have a nice woody sound, just need a good setup. But they didn't scream "buy me now!".
Next I tried the higher-end Ayers. They have a different tone, I'm not sure whether it was the gloss finish, but it felt somewhat less resonant that the cheaper ones. I tried one that looked like my S10J , and another that was full Koa. Didn't sound fantastic to me, and I actually liked the lower end models better!
