Taylor, Martin, Gibson?

So, which company can't you live without?

Only between these three, and only their acoustic lines. (No Chet for example and no electric guitars, acoustic-electric are fine)

First I have to ask why no Chet? Its a solid body acoustic, not electric guitar. And second I choose Taylor because theres nothing they do that can be beat by either company for the same price

Because even if they call it an acoustic guitar, it ain't an acoustic.

It's like calling the Stratacoustic (and telecoustic) eletric guitars.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

So you mean that because the Chet is meant to be an acoustic guitar it should be one?

Then my wooden stick is a Les Paul because I mean it to be one.

Let's stop this fighting, just vote.

Anything solid doesnt count.

EDIT: I'm such a dick.. :lol:

Yup, that's kind of the point with this poll.

Which mega company in overall is the best.

I have never played a Gibson, but I do own a Martin and a Taylor and right now I have been playing my Taylor (mostly) so that is what I voted for....but some days I prefer the Martin. They both sound so different and next week I will probably prefer the Martin. I guess it just depends on my mood.
