Its awesome, but old, i wish i had the cash for a martin... but one of those costs way more than my DSL or any of my guitars, and if i had that kind of $$ i would buy myself a Dean Razorback V, or a Gibson les Paul custom

Currently, the acoustic i use is a Yamaha F-310, might not be expensive, but the sound from this baby is beautiful. Neck isnt too fast, and not too thick, so its perfectly formed. Would love a razorback too......god those things are demonic!

He's got a couple vintage Gibsons that are incredible. My favorite is an old SJ... it's loud like an old Martin D-28, but has the Gibson warmth. Sometime, I'll break down and buy a Martin D-15. One day, I went to a Martin dealer and played every guitar they had. The D-15 is all mahogany, and had my favorite sound of all of them. Luckily, it's also got the most friendly pricetag ($700-ish)

Was a beautiful sounding guitar but it wasn't right.. So far I love the tone of the mine but I am still wanting the action a bit lower.. Cheers!

I'm a Taylor fan and have a GA BTO (Sinker and Macassar) as well as a GSCE LTD in Sitka over Maple. I play the latter more than the former. I also have a 30+ year old Takamine that I keep for sentimental reasons, and an 18 year old Takamine that I will take to adult band jams so I don't beat up the Taylors when moving out of the way of other guitarists or maneuvering around mic stands.
