im a big big big taylor fan. in fact im gonna be buying a taylor soon (i hope) - the revoiced taylor dreads are AMAZING. IMO theyre everything martins want to be.
but the only way to choose is to play them side by side. its your ear.

Re: Thinking of buying a Dreadnought
That sounds like a pretty good price for the d-35 (list is $2600). There is no d-28v, you're probably thinking of the hd-28v (v = vintage appointments, just depends on whether you want it to look old-schoolKGrad5 wrote:i was thinking of buying a dreadnought and have been looking at some i might be interested and wanted to know some of your opinions, what do you guys think of the martin d-35? i saw one being sold for 1500 american, is that a good price for it? how bout the d-28v? as well waht are you opinons on taylor 810, 710 and w-10, looking for a really nice accoustic sound

). Bottom line is, you would more than likely be happy with either a high-end Taylor or a high-end Martin, so go to a guitar store, play both, and decide which one you like more.yeah hd-28v sorry bout that typo 
yeah i saw a martin 2002 d-35 on ebay for 1500 im not good with pricing, i think im gonna head down to good ol cosmo music soon and play around with their martins and taylors would i ruin the sound of the guitar by installing a pickup? should i just stay with an accoustic? or go accoustic/electric? i dont currently own an amp but i could see myself buying one in the future..
thanks again

theres not much of a difference between guitars without pickups and with pickups (of the same model) .... especially not if you get the ES

well the only reason i ask is my guitar is currently an accoustic electric pretty nice one, yamaha cpx15 i relaly like the play but the only thing is, the pickup tends to buzz for some reason when im playing sometimes, sometimes tightnening/loosening the screws stops it but i dont know why its doing that, maybe im wrong and it isnt even the pickup?

well its inside a yamaha it cant be the best pickup ever. however, the ES system is supposed to produce no feedback.
