I recall trying a Rainsong acoustic at a show many years ago and being very impressed.
Seemed to address all the potential issues with acoustics such as wood being subject to temperature changes/humidity etc and sounded great without appearing too plastic.

So it comes down to the Martin 00018 and a Taylor 814ce (or Deluxe which looks great too). Both completely different guitars, I know, but I think the Taylor is edging it. I've yet to try that particular model, but am looking to get my hands on one soon. It's the elctronics that are swaying me and the tone sounds about right for my tastes, at least in video's, I really need to try it to know for sure. All 'round, it seems like a more modern guitar that suits my tastes and requirements. What do you guys think of the 814?

Especially Taylor, since their Expression systems aren't compatible with any other systems in the event of failures or parts unavailability in the future.
It's much better to get a good acoustic guitar and fit it with a simple pickup system and outboard electronics, in my opinion… based on many repairs.

To be fair, I have not yet come across the reliability problems with the new ES2 system that I have with the original version.

Which is the better all rounder? Chords, blues and flat picking? (Can't play fingertyle for shit but would like to learn)

I also tried this Maestro:

It was terrific. Really played well and I loved the soundport, a really nice idea. Resale value though? A hard sell, I imagine.

Good lucky
@sakuarius102, I agree, my old Yamaha was nice, but doesn't get close to the Taylor IMO.
