Acoustic Guitars | The Big 3 | Gibson/Taylor/Martin

[@scottperry8162]

I really want to try the new grand Pacific !

[@jstar1000]

The inlays, sunburst finish, cut away sets the Gibson apart for me.

[@markstaggs7342]

Taylor all day long, Nothing beats a Taylor I have seven Taylor's and one vintage martin

[@andischmidt3334]

Gibson in this one for me

[@ejpurkis]

It sounded sweet with delicate treble tones - some of which is down to the rosewood b & s.

[@richardblock2458]

All sound great on this. The J45 is also a beast, as is the D18. The Taylor sounds more focused and precise. I have the Taylor which I bought in preference. It looks and feels different, easy to play.

[@winstonian88]

Excellent comparison. Using a mahogany J45 would’ve been even better.

[@randywhitener834]

What guitar sounds the best is when u learn how to play! That's the best sounding guitar!

[@BluesBroken]

I'll just let Martin n Taylor fight it out for 2nd n 3rd 😎

[@startreker8591]

I’m a fan ofMartin but j55 45 impressed me more y the way you played it is epic…love D55 guild duh

[@jamesgrobertson8024]

That Taylor sounds Amazing 😉

[@physioacademygr6232]

Which one in your opinion has the most Comfortable neck in terms of feel and play ability ?

[@Beatles123ful]

Agree - 1 martin ( by far) 2 Taylor 3 gibson

[@rosslynemrys5829]

They should have had a mahogany j45 instead of the rosewood avant-garde

[@rosslynemrys5829]

I do like them all, have a d28 and a Taylor 812ce, looking at j45, j15, Southern Jumbo. All great sounding guitars!

As an engineer; Taylors have always annoyed me to no end. Really nasty harmonics. Taylor fans cope and say "that's what I'm buying them for" without ever really listening to their guitars critically. Martins do a much better job, but tend to sound muted. Still, very rich low and mid, very enjoyable. Older, well-played Gibson acoustics are absolute magic. You have to *work* to make them sound bad. Unfortunately, very few people own them and it's hard to make an actual 1:1 comparison. Basically: If you're buying a new acoustic, regardless of intended genre/tone, Martin blows Taylor out of the water. If you want a guitar that will last you a lifetime and sound better every time you play it? Gibson, no question. It's funny, considering how horrible Gibson's electrics are.

[@viniciusvilaca4616]

Taylor all the waaay

[@therubbishrain]

They all sound great, but I'd go for the cutaway.

[@patrickroe5926]

If you are open-minded, you will find a guitar from each maker that you will like. None of the big 3 is standing still. They all want to fill a niche.

[@winstonian88]

Using Richlite is a crime for what you pay for those.

[@gutenbird]

Gibson.

[@enzodeltoro3392]

Martin is better !

[@gutenbird]

Than the Taylor. Martin does sound quite nice.

[@CHDEXTER5]

Always Martin, Taylor, Gibson. So boring. Gibson in acoustic, beuurk…Lowden, Larrivée, Furch, Dowina are great guitars.
