martins are quite often several times more expensive than they should be...

A beautiful french girl made me try a Takamine...i fell in love with that guitar, and with her, too!

[TheBanjoGeezer]

Whatever,

A friend of mine bought a Tak EF-350 (Hi Susan!) in the day and I thought it rocked even thought I was pretty much a novice.

Today, my Martin D-18 is a sound I cannot convey to an audience. One must play it.

[TheLeerain]

@pleic well said and so are alot of so called high end guitars ie gibson my cheap takamine gs330s solid cedar sounds way better than my gibson hummingbird

[TheLeerain]

yes i tottally agree the trouble is with living in the uk there arnt many places if any that you can go to a store and play more than one of the same model likethe hummingbird theres no way stores keep more than one you are lucky to find one of a certain model but going on sound my tak to my ears is far better than the bird i cant comment on martin as ive only ever played one and was more gibson than martin but for the money the tks are outstanding

[brandonch25]

@TheLeerain umm i play a martin the same as i would any guitar i take it everywhere if it gets ding up every now and then who cares i mean yeah im not gonna try to mess it up on purpose but stuff happens it adds character ... and like i said im sure there are takamines that sound better but for instance if im going to buy a 2000 dollar gibson humming bird im going to play a hundred of them until i find the one that is what i want not every guitar sounds good just like not every takamine is good

[TheLeerain]

@brandonch25 maybe butwhats the point in buying a high end martin and not wanting to play it in fear of scratchingetc also i bought a gibson hummingbird true vintage just under £2000.00 and to be honest yeah it was nice guitar but no way worth that and played next to my takamine g511ss the tak was way better sounding ie tone,loudness, warmth more base. The really high end stuff isnt worth that amount yeah they are nice but so are other guitars

[brandonch25]

@pleic well yeah i think a smart buy would be something that sustains its value and a better buy would be something that goes up in value which martins go up in value ... i have three blueridges that are not going to go up in value im just sayin you get what you pay for .... and yeah there are some guitars that sound as good as a martin i know but why not buy a martin if you can ? why not buy a gibson if you can ? why not buy something you know you can get your money out of if you can

[pleic]

@brandonch25 well good then, place your bets. but it's a fact you can buy a guitar as good as a martin or even better for less or even a lot less money. saving won't harm you. but if you want to just spend as much as you possibly can and just brag about buying a martin and how it's going to keep it's value or whatever in 20-30 years, go ahead....lol... buying expensive is not what it's all about, you'll often get lured into wasting your money on nothing. BUYING SMART is the way to go.

[brandonch25]

@pleic you get what you pay for .... i bet that takimine want be worth shit in 20 years

[guitarfreakirl]

I play guitar exactly like Brad Davis, under my arm.
