Subject: RE: BS: Taylor -VS- Martin
All the guitar names mentioned here are good. My aunt had a Martin 000-28 made in the 30's, I believe, that sounded great. I've owned a Fylde Orsino, Taylor 512, Breedlove, and Santa Cruz model H over the years. I liked the way all of them sounded. I currently have a Taylor K-14c and a 30th anniversary RS model, along with a Santa Cruz OM/PW. The K-14c seems to be my main instrument. I like the neck width and and the note sustain on it. I've liked the way all of them for a variety of reasons. I haven't kept all of them because I don't want to neglect any of them. So, it's gotten to the point that if guitar lust strikes, I have to figure out which guitar I'm going to sell to get it.   I like the advice above about playing various guitars, not paying a lot of attention to the brand and finding one that you really want to have.
