Steve,
I played almost every Acoustic Guitar in Sam Ash's Store. And, I didn't like
anything except a nice Taylor Guitar for about $2500.00. Since this was a
little out of my price range, I settled for the Guild. (they both are set up with
the fishman pickup)
Everything else sounded "tintee" to me. Nothing (except the taylor) had the
full deep "basee" sound that I was looking for. The Guild has a "dark" sound
similar to my gibson but still does not compare.
John
