I can definitely pick out the differences quite well here. Funny, I can always hear that trademark EMG sound, but the differences are quite big IMO, when it comes to the overall character of the guitar sound.

The Eclipse and Robin sound best in my opinion. The Eclipse has that trademark "wall of sound" character that mahogany brings to the table. The Robin sounds similar, yet clearer in the mids IMO, and not quite as huge...but close.

This is intriguing, because I've never really given Ash a chance before. Maybe it's time to reevaluate!

I also wanna say that while I generally prefer my mahogany bodied Les Paul for most styles including rock/stoner rock/prog rock/most metal, I might actually choose an Ash guitar for my next shred axe. It seems like that clarity would work really well for some tech metal/shreddy type stuff.
