Opinions on Garrison guitars

I'm think about buying a Garrison G30 guitar and was wondering if anyone has one or has any info/opinions on them. Also any price info would be helpful. The G30 I'm thinking of is about $540w/case.

Top, anybody with opinions on this.

Or, if anyone has any ideas of a good guitar in the $200-$500 range would be nice.

Takamine's make the best guitars in the price range in my opinion.

I've never played Garrisons.

Nice avatar.

Thanks about the avatar

I pretty much decided against getting one and am probably getting a Taylor 110 (I believe thats the model number). Comes out to be about the same price and its a Taylor.

No, it's not a big baby. It's a new model Taylor released this year. Haven't had a chance to play one yet, but the word on the street is it's pretty good for the price.

You might want to also look at some other guitars - Alvarez, Takamine, hell maybe even a Martin (D-15 of course

)!

Not to my knowledge. Pretty sure its a completely different guitar. The sales person said they've been selling them very quickly and it sounded and felt great to me.

the 110 is a full sized guitar. i played it a few times and thought it sounded really good. it had the bright sound that all taylors are known for. the reason i didnt get one is that i wanted my next guitar to be the guitar i have for a long time, so the laminated back and sides really turned me off. if your not worried about that then i would say that the 110 is a really good guitar. but buy what you like, after all your the one playin it.

I was thinking about gettin a 110, But I decided to go for a A/E instead.... I could put a pickup in the 110, But i figured i could get an A/E for 350,to sound as good as the 110 with a pickup..

I have played a garrison. They have a few at the guitar store. They are supposed to have glass in them (I think that's the right guitar). It wasn't bad, but not great. The action was good, but I didn't really dig the sound as much as the other guitars in there. I can't describe really what it sounds like. I thought it was a bit bulky for me. They aren't bad, if you like that sound and feel, but IMO, for other guitars at that price, they wouldn't be high on my list.

Its actually kevlar (almost 100% positive) thats in their guitars.

Thanks for everyones input. I've pretty much decided on the Taylor 110, got it reserved for pick up on Friday. Can't wait
