I always liked elixer strings myself. BUT they dont mix with a D28. I was sceptical of other opinions that they kill tone but it was true on my D28 too. Still sounded good but robbed volume and overtone. A New martin is like a green sapling too. Takes about 6 months to settle in and start to develop its voice. Bought a new one in june 2011 and its quickly becoming a banjo killer!

@AK47cowboy on that martin the elixir strings had the most tone and volume, i tried about 10 or more sets of strings and hated them all except for the elixir strings. i was never happy with the way that martin sounded, i ended up selling it,

thanks for the comment. glad yours is working out for you.

Martin sounds way fuller. More bottom end. Taylor sounded a little tinny to my ears. Are you using .013-56 medium strings?

[dannylightning]

@peterpulpitpounder well the average going price is around 1600 or so.

1300-1400 would probably be my guess for a used one that new if its still in really good shape,

check out the acoustic guitar forum, you can sell stuff on there, i think you need to donate a few bucks to them before you can list stuff for sale but you would be better off than paying all the ebay feels and the pay pal fees going that rout.. i am not sure how much you halve to donate but i dont think it was much,,

@dannylightning

Righty. Paid 1,500 for it. I wonder how much I'll be able to get back, although it's only a few months old.

@peterpulpitpounder  are you a lefty?? there are several other things that i need to be spending my money on right now any ways, got to get one of my other toys going and my car sucks, i just sold that martin and i might try to get rid of my egnator guitar amp, i never touch my electric guitar but i am keeping the electric for a back up if something were to happen to my Taylor and it was out of commission for a while.

@dannylightning

Well, let me know if you know anyone interested in a few month old Taylor 310ce. Maybe I'll regret getting rid of it in the future, if the thing starts to open up a bit, etc., but right now it's just too thin and fragile sounding to my ears. Thanks for the input.

@peterpulpitpounder i really like my Taylor better than i like the martin... i put a bone saddle on the Taylor but put the stock one back on, i got a Taylor bone saddle and the strings ate into it after a few days, i heard they were junk and i guess they are. i have never tried any other strings on my Taylor, the way it sounds with the elixirs on it does it for me. i tried different strings on the martin and i think i like the elixir strings best on it as well.

@peterpulpitpounder

My Taylor 310ce also sounds a bit subdued, and I've tried all kinds of strings, including a new bone saddle from Bob Colosi.

@peterpulpitpounder

I have a nice AT phantom powered mic, and the Taylor 310ce records nicely. My problem with the guitar is that I feel it just doesn't sound full enough for my tastes, and, in fact, the recording of your Taylor 310ce actually sounds pretty rich. I used my Taylor at church last night, and after playing 30 minutes worth of contemporary Christian songs, etc., I felt frustrated with it. I guess I'm used to more of a Martin kind of sound, and have not come to realize this.
