I play an 18 year old Taylor 810, and, I can't say enough good about it. None of the joints have come loose, the top has no buckles, and the intonation is the best I have ever seen in any guitar.

As I have posted before, I've owned them all, Guild, Mossman, Gibson, Ibanez and an HD 28 Martin. they were all very good instruments, but, none of them could hold a candle to the Taylor. If you want a guitar that will never be worth less than you pay for it, buy a Martin. If you want one to play and never have to deal with a warped neck or a bridge that is half an inch off, or action so high you could stuff a cat under the strings, or an intonation problem that makes it sound like a Kay, buy a Taylor.
