Someone new I am!

Obviously you understand that it is TOTALLY a matter of opinion, but when I finally invested in a premium guitar, I considered three brands. They were Gibson, Martin and Taylor. The Taylor won hands down in ALL of my tests, and to this day, I know I made the right decision.

There are some major differences between the three brands, among them, tone and playability. As far as actual construction goes, they all rate well, although some complain about the recent quality of Gibson acoustic guitars. Tonewise, they are all different. Here is where your personal tastes come into play.

Playability is probably where I found the most difference between the three. The Martin and Gibson were very similar, but the Taylor felt like a dream come true. As a player of over 45 years, my hands have suffered and I need very low action and prefer a fast neck. For the jazz fingerstyle music I play, the Taylor is perfect. I had to work too hard on both the Marin and the Gibson.

Keep in mind there are hundreds of professional-level guitars out there, and one could not even begin to try them all.

For constant information on all brands of acoustic guitars, I highly recommend Acoustic Guitar Magazine. It not only provides excellent reviews of products, but contains advertising for many different luthiers and guitar manufacturers. Issues also contain lessons, repair techniques, spotlight artists and typically, six songs in both tab and standard notation. Check it out:

yep...martin

Well, I use Ovation for performing, and Martin for travel.
I think I'd go for Ovation.

I have an Ovation round-backed and it's fabulous.
I'm a sucker for Gibson, though...
