Asking Guitar Freaks about guitars is like asking Scotsmen about Malt Whiskey. There is no best, only opinions. I have played crap Martins, Gibsons, Guilds etc. I have also come across some tinny Taylors and jangly Lowdens. Some makes have a particular feel about the action and neck but in the end every guitar is a unique work made from living natural materials. How many times have I found two apparently identical guitars hanging on a shop wall from top brands with four figure prices only to find they are chalk and cheese as far as playing similarity goes. Find somewhere with a large stock, forget brands, sit down and play until you come across the one that sings to you. Like true love, when you find it, you know it.
