Topic: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE (OR DREAM)

A MARTIN, yes straight to a top brand.

Who owns MARTIN(s), and what is your opinion: like in reviews, but I take it on a scale of 100.
I am the lucky owner of different Martins, so why this topic: just because of the different martins.
- sound
- feature also "the look"
- quality & easy in use
- satisfaction
- do you love your guitar, or would you sell it?
- why are you attached so bad on your guitar.
- IS IT WORTH THE PRICE????

A GIBSON acoustic.
- sound
- features also "the look"
- quality and easy in use
- Satisfaction
- Do you love your guitar
- why are you so attached on your guitar.
- Is it worth the price.

Quit simple topic, I just mentioned these two brands.
I AM NOT EXCLUDING PEOPLE WHO PLAY on APPLAUSE (ovation), Simon & Patrick, Yamaha acoustic, Takamine= all the others, trying to mention brands, as much as I can.
There are more people who don't play on these 2 brands, so I would appreciate brands, like Epiphone, every decent brand you own and like.
The only thing I ask is to flollow the different points and to try to give your guitar a score on 100.
It's a graet way to see what chordians think about their guitar.
Money? They aren't cheap, but MARTIN having changed the guitar world with the Dreadnought, like MARTIN D-28, you have Gibson who gave us the JUMBO guitars.
And why you love your guitar.
It is possible that financially issues are to important to change, or buy a guitar.
Don't shoot me, it is only a topic.

Re: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE (OR DREAM)

This topic keeps coming up - Martin or Gibson?

For me, neither. Quite simply because I cannot and will never afford either. I tried out a few brands when I was shopping around for my current baby and have said before that the difference between even individual guitars of the same brand was frightening. I ended up buying a Yamaha APX500 , which I love. Sounds fantastic either on it's own or through an amp. It has a lovely action and is a joy to play. The built in tuner is a brilliant feature. A fantastic buy at 200 quid (sterling). My daughter has an Ibanez Tallman which cost about the same but I find it doesn't sound as good or play as well with a slightly higher action. Both look amazing!

At the present time I wouldn't change my Yamaha for anything. I love it. A fantastic guitar.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??
