Taylor 815 ce Over Rated!
I was at the local Guitar Center playing various Martin's because I am planning on buying a HD-28 or D-35 sometime in the near future. Then I saw a Taylor 815 ce and I thought I would play it and see what all the hoop la was about. Unplugged, I don't think it sounded as good as the Martins. When I pluged in, I was even less impressed. I tried it through a SWR Strawberry Blonde which is what I use for my Fishman Natural I equipped Gibson Chet Atkins SSt. And was no contest. My Gibson had a much better acoustic tone and sound. And I'm not stating a preference for that famous Chet sound. I am saying that it just sounded better. More true to what an acoustic should sound like.
