    Yamaha :p

    Not because it's good or anything, but it's quite affordable and the two Yamahas that I own never gave me any problems and are very fine instruments for their price.

    NOOOOOOO YOU'RE the one who's crazy. ahha :D fenders are shite for the most part.

    I like Martins, but I have a Norman and I'm fucking in love with it. I like it just as much as the Martins I've played.

    honestly, i could care less about what brand guitar i play. I play what sounds good to me, and if i happen to find a decent yamaha guitar i like and sounds the best out of what i can afford(doubt i would, but for example :rolleyes: ), i would buy it.

    Well, there's reason they would sound right... and if you know a little about the design of them all, that weeds out playing every guitar in a store... scalloped bracing, ladder, forward shifting, x, etc... it all makes a difference. Taylors generally have thin soundboards.

    The oddest thing is that if you pay $30,000-$150,000 for a pre-war Martin, you could save some trouble and buy a custom shop brazilian rosewood D-45 with scalloped bracing and vintage toner in the finish and you could have a NOS model for a few thousand more than a standard 45... or if you want to go for something less flamboyant and with less detail, a 28 is always a good bet. I'd say Stephen Stills has created the best models in his signature series. I like the new 000s he's putting out.

    Haha, but still, I say a $279 (canadian dollars) Norman or anything made by Godin/LaSiDo is the best value for the money.
