Taylors do tend to have a certain sort of twanginess, which is quite different from the sort of ringing sound of Martins, and the woodiness of the dreadnought Gibsons. The Jumbo bodied Gibsons are different again. The little Robert Johnson Gibson sounds very like an old fashioned ladder braced bluesman's guitar.

The sort of twanginess I hear on Taylors (which I hear played unplugged) sounds to me very like the sort of twanginess I hear on the guitars on recordings of country music when I don't turn the radio off fast enough. The country musicians may well not have been playing Taylors, but the sort of twang sounds similar.

MG, I didn't say country musicians played Taylors.
