I have to disagree with hawg427 about Martin guitars being better for fingerpicking than Taylors. I really want to like the Martins but they sound muddy to me 4 out 5 I try while the Taylors are the opposite. The brighness and action of the Taylors allow for a playing experience much more accommodating to than Martins. I have not however tried Eastmans so will have to give them a look.
@rigorhead01 completely. sound/tone is objective. i'm simply saying, to me, it does not sound that great when he was fingerpicking. strummed was a different story (also note how i said its the best sounding taylor i've ever heard, but still not for me...? ;) )
@ThroughFallenEyes If your into fingerpickin just buy a Martin, which IMHO blows Taylor out of the water. In our old church all the guitarists had Taylors which do not sound bad, but when you put a Martin HD-28 next to the Taylor Taylor just loses that tone battle. The Martins are a louder guitar also, that's why it's used in Bluegrass bands. I personally love my Martin HD-28.
