Do you prefer Taylor, Gibson or Martin acoustic guitars?
I’ve been playing the acoustic guitar for about three months; I play my Dad’s, a beautiful Taylor. But I’m thinking of buying my own. So I’m wondering which of these three brands you prefer or have played. Thank you!
Brands don’t matter, it’s the sound and tone of the guitar that does. That being said, I’ve only played Taylor and Martin. From my experience, the Taylor guitars have a much brighter and crisper sound than the Martins, but the Martin’s have deeper bass and stronger mid tones.
The type of strings will make a slight difference to the brightness of the tone, which may influence the way Taylors sound because they come stock with Elixer strings; Martin guitars come with Martin strings, which in my opinion are not as bright as Elixers. The type of wood the guitar is made out of will also influence the sound. Most guitars come with a spruce top, which will make the guitar ring.
It’s best if you go to a guitar shop and test these guitars out yourself. You can bring your dad along too to help you choose, since you’ve only just started. Personally, if it’s a high end guitar, you can’t go wrong with either a Taylor or Martin. If you’re going to buy anything under $1000, go with Martin. I recommend the Martin 000×1 or the 00015 (both are excellent guitars and easy to play because of the grand auditorium body size). Just my 2 cents.

Martin Authentic/Golden Era/Marquis D-28 Marquis $4099 Martin Authentic/Golden Era/Marquis D-28 Marquis Since 1931, the Martin D-28 has remained the standard by which all other steel-strings are judged. Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, solid spruce top, and Dreadnought size produce an incredibly loud, full, rich, punchy tone perfect for most musical styles. Used for years by all the top players, the D-28 is rightfully a living legend in acoustic guitars. Typically the action is set higher on a D-28 than on a D18, 35, 42 or 45 owing to the instrument’s bluegrass roots where the instrument performs with mandolins, banjos and Dobros which are loud. A heavier gauge string and tad higher action makes the guitar louder. Well-played D28′s are often referred to as “cannons”. The D28 is an American classic.
