Hi,

My first post on the forum even if I spent quite some time here...

I'm about to buy my second guitar, been playing a bit over a year on a cheap Fender. Visited my local guitar shop last week and played a lot of different guitars, ended up with Martin D16, Taylor 410 and Gibson j45, finally Taylor and Gibson.

Now I have big problems to decide between these 2, they sound quite different.. and I like them both. Taylor felt more balanced in sound and better when strumming, it also felt more genuine construction wise and "better in my hands"

Gibson on the other hand had a deeper warmer sound, more dynamic than the Taylor, especially when finger picking. More feeling and surprises sound wise. The weight balance didn't feel as good as the Taylor but it might only be that it's different from the guitar I have now so I think I can get used to it.

Problem is I play all kind of styles, fingerpicking, strumming...

Any opinions on which to choose? Or recomendations on other guitars I should try?

Thanks.
