I've always been a Gibson fan but only because Gibsons had the sound I wanted. Every guitar is NOT the same, regardless of brand.
My main guitar is-and has been for years- a Recording King built by Regal for Montgomery Ward in the late 30's.
But I also play a Harmony Meteor (mid 50's) with two deArmond pickups, a '63 Gibson LG0, a Yamaki (D-28 copy), a custom made 12-string, and a cedar-top Lyon & Healy circa 1900.
All were chosen for a particular sound quality, not because of the brand.
The Taylors that I have played have not impressed me particularly, the Larravees have. I would kill to own a Santa Cruz and a friend has a Gibson J-185 for which I would readily sell my soul, if he would part with it.
The rest of the guitars that the family owns are either someone elses faves or acquisitions that were just " too good a deal to pass up". GAStroll
