Sounds good. But it isn’t no MArtin. Martin 4 ever!
martins are only good if you like things with a lot of bass
if you like lots of bass- Martin
mid range- gibsons
treble- taylor
… this sounds a lot like a taylor to my ears
Yeah, it sounds a lot like a Taylor to me. But a little more even.
yea its better than a martia hell this guitar beat taylor won more awards than both combined
I would have to disagree with TrustinYahweh below. Though Martin are beautiful sounding guitars, Paul offers the player an acoustic with a sparkling high end, soothing mid range, and a punchy low. Paul is one the most respected builders in the music business for a reason. Some of the finest instruments ever made are built by this man. This acoustic guitar is nothing less than perfect!!
i agree
I think this is one of those things that you can’t really give an honest opinion about until you’ve played both guitars. I own a martin D28, so i know how magnificent their guitars can be, but i’ve also played a Tonare and i have to say they both have their strong points. The martin is kinda like the harley of guitars, everyone knows them and if its your style you’ll never like anythings more. The Prs is a fantastic guitar with great tone, comfort, and sound. I’d take either in a heartbeat.
If I would pay over 5000 bucks for an acoustic guitar I would never buy a mass-produced guitar such as this one. I would go to a luthier and let him/her build exactly what I would like to have.
Diddo vintage martin, then Dan Lashbrook it!
uh yeah it isnt a martin..its better
great sound, to much money..
For me Taylor sound better than Martin so I know what you mean
yep definitely like a taylor
great love to have one but ovver priced =P better off with a smaller manufacturer someone like Beneteua, more options on woods, superb craftmanship and plenty of room for custom options and still works out cheaper even being to get something better. But like i say, i’d still love one!!
at this price competition is fierce ! You can get Kevin Ryan , lakewood , collings custom made for you
He looks just like Norm McDonald hahahahaha
that thing is georgious
@ippusor this more than you’d ever like to have for 5k bucks
Man, If I was any good at fingerstyle and was rich, I would need one! It sounds like a freaking grand piano.
