The St. Blues 61 South (with F hole) is closest in tone - but at under 6.5 pounds it's much easier on the shoulder... Before I broke my wrist a couple years ago it was in 5 string open G most of the time. I replaced the bridge pickup with a first generation Lace Sensor "Red" and tuned it down a half step - now it's my rocker guitar with hollowbody feedback at the ready whenever I face my amp. It's a nice see-thru May Kay whitewash in person but it's tough to get a decent picture of it.
The brown Godin Artisan TC has had its humbuckers replaced with Fralin P92 split singles for a little more definition than the stock pickups it came with. It doesn't have the bite of the St. Blues, but it's fuller and fatter without being compressed.
