I agree about what has been said before here. A guitar is a personal preference and choice. Thus said, I have had a Martin D-12-28, a Gibson J-50, an Ovation Legend, and a Guild F-212 12 string, all from the 70's. I still have the last two, and have had them since the 70's. The only acoustic guitar that has recently had me seriously considering purchasing it, was a Taylor, model unknown. I'd like to see the Gibson again, but don't miss the Martin. Hope that helps, and have fun.
Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor?
My "other half" is exploring the stress releiving effects of playing acoustic guitar. She's a great woman! She actually convinced me to buy a pair of Rowland model 9 monos w bps, instead of a boat. Thats my girl! Anyway, shes been playing for 1.5 yrs. Its a toss up between Martin ???? Koa wood, Taylor 314ce, Takamini GS330s, and a Tocoma???sound hole on top!!! All these models can be had "used" for around 900.00 All replys welcome, thanks Scot
