I like the sound of a good Martin over the sound of a good Taylor. They are very different sounding guitars and it's 100% subjective in prefering one over the other. Some like the trebly ring of the Taylor while others like the bassy roar of the Martin. some like the skinny neck of the Taylor, some like a thicker beefy neck to suit they're hand size or personal preference.
I don't feel that my Taylor is too Trebly or lacking bass. I feel that is has a better over all sound. I don't want my guitar to be too bassy like all the Martins that I played had.

But you are right...it doesn't mean anything to which you prefer. I don't judge anyone's tastes in guitars (unless you like Larivees - then you are just nuts :wink: j/k)

That guitar sounds fuckin' great. Those Taylors are great for recording eh?
That's a fantastic sounding guitar that I wish I owned but what can you do.
And damn the guitar sounds great! sounds like new strings and is it a Taylor? sounds kind of like one
Hmmm...all comments you made about MY guitar which is a Taylor. Game set and match! :lol: :wink: :lol:

Are you sure that's a Taylor that you own? I mean are really sure? I didn't think Taylors sounded that good. maybe its actually a Larrivee that you own, because they're amazing guitars.
good, and you?
