I just picked up a Taylor 114e sunburst today and although its a lower end taylor this little thing bounces and its so much fun to play...so what are you guys using for your acoustic needs?
Larrivee Model LV-03E I believe, Gibson Gospel, Seagull S6 cutaway and my Parker Fly which has the piezo and it sounds amazing through the PA. I would put a Larrivee up against almost anything for the money.
I used to have a Custom Jumbo Taylor with koa back n sides. Really expensive guitar that sounded and played great. Loved it.
Now I have a Seagull Maritime. It has at least 90% of the tone and feel.
And I don't feel bad about taking it out to jams or letting other folks play it.
i got a mahogany gs mini from the music zoo. Was not sure i was going to play an acoustic that much but i love the gs mini. Best $500 purchase i have ever made.
I live right near music zoo and they have quite the selection of acoustics, they always quote me out the door without tax also, great place, I grabbed the Taylor at sam ash because they had a sunburst....
