Hmmmmm .... funny ... I try Marins out in the music stores ... some are absolutely fantastic (case in point a D-35) and some are duds. Lately they have to be one of the most inconsistant guitars out there. I agree, if you find a good one, and you got the money buy it ... Taylors, are probably the most consistant (in good sound, tone, resonance) guitars out there ... and the polls I have been reading select the Taylor 810 as the best on the market, Martin is coming in second.
