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

My brother plays guitar and between the Martin and Taylor (I do not know the models) he chose the Taylor for it's more forward midrange sound where the Martin had a warmer fuller sound. I understand there characteristics apply to all models according to the salesmen we have talked to and my ears. It is my understanding the Taylor is known for being a good bargain where the Martin's run a little more expensive.

Please take this post with a little salt as I have not done a lot of research myself just picked up a few things here and there.

A friend wants to build a guitar amp that is tube driven.

Can anyone recommend a low priced guitar DIY tube amp?

probably $200 or so is all he can afford...

thanks,
Phil
