Thread Name: taylor guitars vs seagulls
Subject: RE: taylor guitars vs seagulls
Just bought a cheap knockabout guitar to keep at the caravan (didn't want to leave either my Lowden or Norman ST68 there for obvious reasons). It's made in China (Gremlin) - from recently improved spec. I never thought I'd buy a very cheap guitar, but this is unbelievable at the price.
I also never thought I'd ever buy a Taylor - totally untouched by human hand and totally over-hyped and over-priced. I'm still looking though - and after trying dozens at prices up to £3500 - still waiting to find one that doesn't suck at that price. Who knows though? I never thought I'd buy a Chinese guitar - maybe there is a decent Taylor out there somewhere........
