"Martins are the choice obviously of most professional players in folk and bluegrass. Gibsons tend to be the pro choice of many doing country, though you will see Martins there, also."

Okay, then how come you see so many Taylors on Austin City Limits and the Nashville channel? Most of the folksingers I've seen who play Martins play OLDER Martins. Don't like the new ones very much. Not as good. Grossly overpriced.
