Hey guys how are lakewood guitars. Mostly looking at the M-32 and M-1. I'm just bored at work trying to kill time by looking at guitars and came across these. Thanks for any information

well Dave seems to speak well of the M-32 he used for Live at Luther College...I almost bought one, til I found that they are near impossible to find...unless you order them (they are based out of Germany - am I right guys?)...but I would have to play the piece before buying it...

I'm playing my 814 now as I read :lol:

you might want to look into getting the new Taylor revoiced models...all dreads and jumbos (10's and 15's) are now revoiced...supposta make up for everything Martin fans say Taylor lacks ;)

just thought I would run that by you...especially with the Expresion Systems on these 2003 models...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight, re-voiced as in TRYING hard to be Martin....but just not yet, and never going to be, there......Taylors are only good, in my opinion, for their cutaway guitars. They have great high ends...but for Dreads, it's gotta be Martin

Martins have just been around forever.. people are unwilling to try new and better things...

the power of Bob Taylor compells you!
