buti youre also an acoustic enthusiast... lately nababaon nalang tong thread na to
Yeah, kanya kanya lang talaga yan... ive tried some goodalls, collings, and lowdens... i fell in love w/ a jumbo goodall w/ maple body, napaka mahal lang... to my ears my guild 70' f50 is at par w/ it , among the lowdens naman i was impressed w/ the cheaper cedar topped jumbo mahogany... the collings are great, mas kadikit ang martins, but their dreads seem to be more open sounding and their om naman are very focused... yun santa cruz, more balanced... very light yun built, but comparing it w/ a similar martin, mas maliit ang headroom ng scgc... may zing factor din ang scgc, very balance...
Di natin nababangit ang gibsons, lol... but honestly, ive tried a couple of great sounding jumbos (2 out of 10)... and the robert johnson model was one of the best guitars ive tried during my last visit in a big guitar store.... i was surprised napakaliit pero feel na feel mo yun sound...
Taylors are ok, but not really great
On chinese made guitars... the blueridge range are wonderful considering their price... pero iba pa rin yun mga martins... i was pretty excited to try the GAD guilds but was disappointed... kala ko since all solid sila, baka maayos na...
