Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor?

My "other half" is exploring the stress releiving effects of playing acoustic guitar. She's a great woman! She actually convinced me to buy a pair of Rowland model 9 monos w bps, instead of a boat. Thats my girl! Anyway, shes been playing for 1.5 yrs. Its a toss up between Martin ???? Koa wood, Taylor 314ce, Takamini GS330s, and a Tocoma???sound hole on top!!! All these models can be had "used" for around 900.00 All replys welcome, thanks Scot

Neil Young is the current owner of Hank Williams' 1941 Martin D-28.

Nice additions @stuartk! Another is Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe, both playing J-200’s in the pic on the front of the sleeve of the 7" bonus disc (Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe Sing The Everly Brothers) that came with the first pressing of the Rockpile album.

Nick is also playing one (the black Everly Brothers version, with pick guards both above and below the guitar’s sound hole) on the back cover of his Pure Pop For Now People album (US pressing). The UK version (entitled Jesus Of Cool) has a different back cover pic. The front cover has different pics too, with Nick in alternate attire, and playing different guitars and basses.

I like the Gibson J-200, the choice of Emmylou Harris and The Everly Brothers.
