which guitar is dave using for the 05 dave and tim shows? he has been playing his tayor 914 for some time but when he gets with tim does he go back to the martin cuz that is tim's guitar of choice as well??? also, i have just recently downloaded the best of dave and tim from 2003 and does anyone know which he uses then??? thanks everyone!

as far as I know dave has been using his DM3MD for d&t as well as d&f shows ever since it was made for him. Before that he used a different model martin (storytellers) and for the first tour he used a lakewood (luther college). I've only known tim to use a martin as well.

see i knew that tim only plays martins so i figured that dave would be playing a martin as well. and seeing as there are very few martins that are better than the DM3MD he is more than likely using that. I would love to have one of those guitars. i had to make a compromise and i bought a taylor 710 which is an incredible guitar but i would like a DM3MD much more! i am very close to getting my hands on a 914 taylor. that would be great!

I thought it was confusing at first but when I thought about it this is the way I see it:
DMB: Taylors
DM&F: DM3MD
D&T: Any of the Martins shown on the gear
DM: Taylor and Martin

It was the DM3MD for sure.

Not always true, I have videos from 03' and a couple other D&T shows of Dave using his Taylor. But as long as you know he's not using Washburns, it's all the same when it comes out of the speakers.

i would have to disagree about its all the same when its coming out of the speakers. if you have every played acoustic, and can play well, you would know that better guitars with higher quality wood combinations will sound better than lesser quality. albeit it does depend on how they are being mic'd and amped and that setup will make a difference. but you can't say that its all the same coming out of the speakers. i have been playing a martin d28 for a little over a year and just bought a taylor 710 and there is a pretty considerable difference between the 2. just my .02

No shit Sherlock!

What I am saying is in reference to Dave, which we are talking about, You are not able to listen to a song and say, well thats the dm3 and this is the d-28 and that ones the 7-14ce. Not possible, thats what i mean when i say its all the same coming out of the speakers...it all sounds fucking great.

Don't forget about his taylor custom baritone he used for warehouse and the everyday songs back then. You may be mistaking it for his standard taylor.

if you can't tell the difference between his guitars, woe is you.

i wasn't trying to get personal with that post, you should chill. i don't disagree with you in thinking that it all sounds great. all i am saying is you CAN tell the difference between a taylor and a martin, and without a reference i wasn't sure which one he was using for the 05 d& t tour. you are right when saying that when you sit and listen to a recording it is difficult to distinguish because no matter what he is playing, it is all phenomenal gear and it all sounds good BUT there is a difference. my .02 ~~~ also if anyone has any info on what he used during the 03 d & t tour that would be cool.

I can tell the difference etween his guitars... Also just want to point out that you can have the best acoustic guitar with a shitty pickup and a $200 junker guitar that has a better pickup will probably sound better....

jimithng23 · Unread post by **jimithng23** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 6:58 pm

not so sure if you needed to point that out 8-)

~~~ anyone who is anyone who buys the best acoustic (+$2000) knows that you don't put a low quality pickup in it...

You can tell the difference between dave using a DM3 or a D28? I'd like to be there for that.
