i think it's obvious that the taylor fans are out playing their taylors, and so they don't have time to vote. why else would martin have the lead?

Shane, how can you say that D-15s are crappy sounding guitars? I love those things and they the way they look. As hopefully a future owner of a D-15, I'm casting my vote for Martin.
