I got one of those on my Taylor. With the coffee stain rings in behind.

And I have played Martin's and Taylors. I went with the Taylor because I thought it sounded better and plaed better. The Martin I played was an HD-28. I ust didn't like the feel of it. But it's all a matter of opinion.

Peace,

All I have to say is if you've ever played one of their cedar models, I don't think you'll think the same way about Martin's. I am not a huge fan of a bright spruce guitar, but the cedar really fills out the tone and gives a nice warm bass response. If you're just in to the typical dreadnaught sounds, I'd agree that Martin is probably a little better, although I haven't heard these new voice dreadnaughts from Taylor, so I don't know if that's still true. But my Taylor 714 is more responsive than any Martin I've played, at least that I can remember.

It's personal preference. The Taylors I have played are amazing....but I like the more bassy, louder sound of a Martin. It's personal preference....oh well

thats true... it just always seems to popup everywhere

Oh c'mon, Kanter, I *love* the Taylor v. Martin pissing match. There are always new and interesting viewpoints, and both sides of the debate are always so open-minded.

what's the tension like? tight or loose?

throw on a Dave song like Crash or Typical situation to tune your Low E string.

its tight, but my tuners kinda weird. and i know the last time i restrung a guitar it was my 12 string and when i was tuning the lower g string it snapped. those were ghs, and it wasnt a big deal, but if i snap the elixir... anyway its either too high or too low. really annoying
