Super stuff, folks. My beloved Seagull has been rendered into scrap wood with great electronics (LR Baggs Dual Source pickup) by the feckin' gorilla's at United. So I am going to have to pickup a decent "work" 6 string. I played a Martin D-16GT the other day with the Fishman Prefix blender in it. I went into Elderly to look at Taylors. I also played a ton of lesser brands, on the chance I would find a steal. But I really liked the Martin, even if it is new. I don't know.....gotta think about it. Besides, I am getting my new Freshwater Bouzouki next week, so maybe I will just wait on the 6, and play the bouzouki and the 12 string. But your info is invaluable.
