I see Taylor is well represented in this thread and I have to agree. A big Taylor Dreadnaught or Jumbo makes me believe that I actually know what I'm doing. I wish I owned one but I'm a dabbler and cannot justify the expense. I've had the opprotunity to strum some old Martins now and then to the same effect. Wow, what tone and resonnance! I've never had the chutzpah to ask to hold the few custom guitars I've encountered (as they were accompanied by their owners and masters) and only trust that I did not drool on them as I bent to examine.
