That's your opinion, and I respect it. I don't agree with it at all, however. I don't like the sound of a "stock" Chet at all, nore have I fallen in love w/ Fishman pickups in a Chet. It simply doesn't resonate the way a true acoustic can, and therefore sounds muffled and dead to me.

The Taylor, on the other hand, has a great sound unplugged given a couple of months to mature (straight from the factory the wood sounds restrained) and the new ES system blows any other pickup off the face of the planet. I assume the guitar you played wasn't so equipped.
