Location: Tennessee | I think the thread is pretty reasonable overall. There are bashers everywhere. Taylor over here is wailed on pretty heavily, and a casual observer really wouldn't know when we were being facetious, serious, or blasphemous.
My thoughts:
+1 on the Cole Clark. The Fat Lady II is a dream plugged in.
+1 on the Takamine. Even without the Cool Tube.
+1 on Ovations. My personal preferences are the 2007BCS, the 2000, and the JL3. And the DS768 for the deeper darker stuff.
For the Jumbo sound, my Lakewood plays great through the Shen60. Not so sure how it would be in an environment with lots of sound pressure but in a small space it get the job done and then some.
So it depends on what I want to sound like. All of the guitars sounds different acoustically, and they all sound different plugged in. I love them all. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | It's so obvious that it's a waste of time to discuss it. Preston Reed plugged Yamaha at a concert I went to, because Yamaha gave him about 7 guitars to use on his tour. He didn't mention the one that he uses most, his Adamas, probably because Yamaha wouldn't like it very much. It was a bit hard to hide the fact that he used the Adamas on probably half his songs |

Location: 6 String Ranch | David Bergstrom is one of the head guys ar Yamawho now. He's the one I sent after Preston when Dave worked for Kaman. Or maybe it was him coming to me and saying "you gotta see this guy playing at the Washburn booth" I forget...... |

I really didn't see much to ruffle the feathers. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I always found Taylors to be beautiful guitars, without a personality. They are gorgeous, sound great, at least the ones I've played, but they lack something, ovations, adamas, taks, collins, even seagulls, and some others have. It's the oddest thing. |
