Pakitaan mo naman kami nang pag-gigitara mo para marining namin ang tunog ng mga Taylor guitars mo.

Dude, I don't think he was implying in any shape or form that he had all of those Taylor models.  The last sentence of the post says it all.

ang magandang taylor para sa tenga ko yung 300 series the rest of the taylors are just eye candy. btw not necessarily na mataas ang model e maganda ang sound. anyways bright para sakin ang taylor not my taste. i would prefer a martin over taylor anytime pero take note na me mga martin din na hindi maganda lalo na yung mga low end models nila. i use a martin d35. the best martin na nadinig ko e yung Johnny Cash signature D35. yung sound nangagaling sa buong body hindi lang s sound hole pero ang presyo naman is around 200K pesotas.

Ang nakatalo lang na sound ng Martin ay yun Santa Cruz na vintage.

Kung nasa band setting ka.. go for a Taylor kasi nagcucut dahil s midrangy tone nya.
Kung soloist ka.. better ko for a Martin particularly the OM or D models.

If you want a Taylor you might need to search somewhere else.. your best bet is the HK favorite or dito sa Singapore. http://www.sinamex.com/

Hmmmm.... ive tried all sorts of taylor, in my observation, hindi ko nagustuhan ang 300 series...  unless ltd edition wherein they used koa.... comparing it w/ a similar upscale model like a 5 series (mahogany body) side by side malayo ang tone quality :-)

yun  7, 8 and 9 series: sila ang pareparehas ang tone more or less... cept that they use englemann intead of sitka sa mas mahal na modelo :-)

martins and taylor will cut through the mix similarly, basta nandun yun mids... youll appreciate this w/ 000 or om on martins or the 12 (grand concert) and 14 (Grand auditorium) body style of taylor guitars :-)

lastly on the santacruz.... scgc are great guitars... lightly braced, well balanced as opposed to the bottom heavy martin dred.... but they are different, so preference yan nun listener/player kung ano mas maganda... if you want a boomy guitar go for a martin dred, pag balance naman scgc...

nga pala may santacruz na ba na vintage???

If you've tried it and you like it, I'd say go for it. 

Taylors are mass produced, unless you find late 80s guitars that bob taylor himself made.  But that said, although Taylor guitars are not really that high-end (to me they're low high-end, if that makes sense) they do sound good, at least the mid models.  the high models to me are not that different to the mid ones, at least from the ones i have tried.  iba lang ang species ng back and sides at yung grade ng top, and also yung inlay. To me they sound more "tinny" than like say Martin guitars, which is fine by me because I use mine to cut through a lot of noise, esp when playing with a group of children.
 But I am sure it will be a step up from what you currently have.   :)

I like mine, a 415ce that I got years ago.  If I would replace it I'll get a Lowden.
