Taylor Guitars Are Over Rated (imo)

I bought all my Pro models made in Japan Taks while staying in Florida in winter.
The reason for my choice was after listening to a performer playing his G series on stage. He was a solo artist that to me had the best acoustic sound I heard on stage.
I bought 3 CDs from him to get a chance to find out what his secret was. He showed me his guitar pickup on the G series and told me to tell the sound man to set the mixer flat.
All my Taks, 2 old lawsuit models and 3 Acoustic electric guitars have been bought used at rock bottom price.
Compared to $3000 other make guitar they all hold their own very well. A Taylor owner came running to the stage when I was doing a sound check and asked me what pickup I was using. He told me after spending $2000 for pickups on his guitar, he still did not have the sound mine had. I told him it was the complete guitar and it was not for sale.
Of course I own 2 more totally different Taks with different pickups that sound as well as the one I was using that day.
All my 3 electric Taks cost me a total of $1200 US. And no way I need better as I do feel I have the best.
My models are. 1977 F340, 1982 F309, 1992 TF340S with AFF pickup, 1994 EF261SAN with Graft X pickup, and finally my best 2008 TF340S BG with the cool tube 2.
My used guitars are in New condition and will last me the rest of my life. They all cost me less then $2000, the price of one Taylor.
I have friends with one Martin guitar that needs fretting often so playing many guitars for me leaves me with great playing spares.
