I'm similar to Kevin above. For me, the first strum was all it took. I went into the shop thinking I was about to plunk down 10k on a varnish they had and started playing the others they had. I strummed the varnish one and it really just didn't do anything for me. I picked off another and it felt better. They then paraded out the 3 of that same model they had. Of the 3, the one I walked out with, I strummed once and was like..."whoa...there is something very different here." It resonated and sounded so different and perfect to my ears.
I would say that if you weren't blown away at first pass, you might just pass.
