Well, THAT is an ear-opener!! I won't comment til a number of others have heard it, but I reckon most of us will have the same reactions.

I can see that I won't want to copy a baby taylor anytime soon. I think the $5000 dollar guitar sounds best, but, in truth, I think my last dreadnaught sounds better then the 100,000 dollar martin. No brag, just fact.

Just to be clear, that is what "I" think, not necessarily what anyone else might think about my guitar :)

Interesting. Good demonstration that if you want a better-sounding guitar, play better. Won't play itself.

I think the one was $95K overpriced, the $5K sounded just fine. The Baby even sounded good for what it is.

The Baby was definitely easy to pick out but to my ears the $5000 Martin sounded better and I would echo Kevin's comments.
