I have Seagull, Framus (1961), Epiphone (1965), Takamine, La Patrie, Washburn, Dean, Gretsch and Tacoma. The Tacoma is probably the best of them but they all handle pretty well. I've played Martins and Larrivees and they are very nice guitars but I simply will not spend that kind of money on a guitar. My Gretsch archtop was $1600 and that is my limit. Frankly, I'm not that good a performer or songwriter to justify splurging on a Martin although I would if it was worth it to me. But shelling out $2800 or more at my level of proficiency is pointless. I feel guilty owning some of the guitars that I do have.
