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???
