Great Guitar wrong make

maltingsaudio

Personally would never buy a Gretsch, Martin, Taylor or Epiphone. Have played a few stunning Martins and Epi’s but could never part with folding for one just because.

Any one else like this?

I have to admit to some pretty stupid and baseless prejudices when it comes to guitars. I do try very hard to judge each one I’m lucky enough to play only through my hands and ears though.

No, fucking daft attitude and you miss out on great instruments.

I would never buy any of them .Its not that I dont like them but the missus thinks 5 guitars is enough .

No if it’s good it’s good. The only negative I have are Washburn’s as my mates Status style bass started to fold up under hot stage lights and I had a Mercury with a neck that used to move.

No

I don't understand the question.  I have a Martin and an Epiphone on my guitar wall, along with 3 Gibsons and a pair of Seagulls.

No.

Epiphone make great guitars.

Just bought a beautiful Martin 000 and have owned all the other mentioned guitars.

A lot of people possibly have a bias against brands like Squier and Epiphone due to them existing as budget copies of other brands.

But Gretsch, Martin and Taylor are beyond doubt 3 of the top brands in the history of guitar so what's the reason behind disliking those blanketly?

I sort of get it but having tried a few Taylor's and one absolutely stunning Martin I'm over that for sure.

I'm a bit like that with Gibson.

Never owned one, and never really played one to any great degree but I am a Fender fan and there are so many Fender's out there I'd like that I'd rather spend money on those.

It is a financial restraint thing with me rather than out and out prejudice.

I just can’t bring Myself to own a charvel, that pink one recently was tempting though.

How do you stop the seagulls from shitting on your guitars?

Nikc

If I loved it and I was in the market for a guitar the name on a headstock wouldn't stop me from buying it - it might stop me from trying it in the first place of course

 No, I’ve got an open mind and several Gretsches.

I wouldnt touch a PRS, Suhr, Knaggs or any of those type of horrible ponytail muso guitars, with a bargepole
