Now the 1st video of the 140, especially finger picking, sounded good.

Derick, ancient1, I've grown fond of Guild guitars. The ones I linked are solid wood, but MIC... which doesn't bother me since it's makes them more affordable.

In the video you posted, Derick, I liked the Gibson Song Writer best...

Garland ,Derick ,ancient1 ,

I'm suspecting a little dishonesty in the blindfold test vid. Why?

I was curious so I had my wife do the same for me blindfolded with just 2 guitars to see if I could tell the difference just having one on my lap, didn't even strum them. And yup, could tell the difference easily.

Tell the difference of what exactly?......

The difference between how a dread and a GA feel while holding them.

The Taylor was a Grand Auditorium with the armrest feature and the rest were Dreadnaughts with no armrest. Without even strumming one you can tell the diff easily just holding it in your lap! LOL!

So when he says he couldn't tell which one was the Taylor, meeeeeeeh, I dunno there. Again, I suspect a wee bit of dishonesty here. LOL.

I agree... I thought if he couldn't tell he wasn't holding a dreadnought, he's not as clever as he wants us to believe...

However, I'm still looking seriously at the Guild D-140...

As for the video, I still liked the sound of the Gibson (the first one he played) the best. I could hear a difference...
