My wife has a Taylor 714, very nice guitar. Taylor's seem to be set up well from the factory, they always play nice. I've been lusting after a Gibson songwriter deluxe for years but have been too cheap to pull the trigger. Speaking of cheap, I bought a pair of Yamaha guitars to take camping with us and have been amazed at their tone and playability, I think they are as nice as guitars costing a 1000 bucks more. Liked them so much I bought a 12 string for the wife's birthday, it's super nice too.
