Average delivery takes 32days and if you have their Platinum card you can own it with payments as low as $2400 a month... :shock:

Who in here has a guitar that is even worth $2400?

Shit for that price it better be pre WWII and in mint condition. Oh wait even those sell for $20k or less :shock:

You guys suck! I'm just jealous because I can't afford anything over $2000... actually I can't afford anything right now.

although Martin is renound for the purest acoustic - all around - Taylor is making strides in terms of innovative design and structure (look into the new GS series)...they also have the market on pickups with the Expression System (very transparent) whereas a Martin will still work with Piezzo underbridge pickups (some have grown to like that sound more)...owning an 814ce, myself, I have to say that it is the easiest acoustic fretboard to work on and is one of the most beautiful looking acoustics (another plus of Taylor, although looks do nothing for the sound, as we know)...a lot of it is preference though...
