Left with a martin because it was nicest sounding and playing by some distance.
Acoustics are such a personal thing. I really believe you have to go and try them.
As a side note I personally don't get the love for Eastman or Atkins. I found multiple examples of both very, very bland.
And I will try out a few just now isn't a great time to get down to guitar shops hence why I'm asking about on here!
I don’t understand the acoustics are so personal thing. Only in as much as anything else is. I could pick and choose candidate guitars from ten paces
As far as type of guitar, body size, tone woods, bracing, that's a totally personal thing. The guys in the videos seem to have OM sized guitars.
But to me, the recording of those guitars in the example clips don't exactly tell me much about the tone of those guitars... they sound kinda thin and clangy... and for my ear, not exactly what a desirable acoustic tone would be... Probably most likely due to how they were mic'd and eq'd. Ironically I think the second clip sounds truer to what the instruments actually sound like... but it's all personal taste!
I think one of the guys (the lead player) has a Martin OM which would explain your comment. Thing is when they play acoustically it changes setup, sometimes they're mic'd up, sometimes they're DI'd, some is a mix of both. But they seem to sound pretty good whatever they play through, to me anyway.
Happy hunting (and happy New Year).
My Tak was very cheap as I just wanted something to do the job back when I bought it, didn't really pay much attention to sounds.
So if I'm going to get a new acoustic its got to be a significant upgrade and different sounding! (Who knows I may sell the Tak on anyway).
I have seen a couple of shops round here have finance options for the D28 and HD28. So when they eventually are allowed to reopen I'll go and try a few out. Either that or I have to save for nearly a year. But I guess this gives me more time to research up.
