Thanks! I just went to the guitar center and played a few, and the thing I noticed was that for some reason it is easier for me to play bar chords on the martins. It seems like the neck is a little wider or something. I did play a seagull that sounded really nice. I am giving up on the epiphone masterbuilt because the neck just seems so narrow and my fingers feel crowded, but man that thing sounded nice. I have noticed that the guitars at the guitar center have alot of buzz  ...the salesman said they don't set them up. What do other guitar stores do to "set them up", and can I fix them if I buy fom the guitar center?
Are there any online stores that you buy from, or is it better to just buy locally?
Thanks again for your input!

I am trying to decide on which guitar to purchase. I want one with low action, and it seems the Martin is the best for that, but I think the Epi sounds better. The Takamine seems right in the middle fo the two. I would like to know if anyone has owned these guitars and what you think of them. I have not played for years and I'm not too familiar with Takamine. Any other guitars that you think would be better in the $700 or less price range????
