Hello all I'm planning on spending my return on a acoustic guitar that will be substantially better than my current big baby taylor. Guitars I have played and like are the martins d28 hd28, and taylor 814 816. I plan on strumming and finger picking 50/50. Stuff I want to play and am inspired by is John Mayer, coldplay, radiohead, Chris Cornell, the killers, The beatles, Led zepplin. I also play worship- tomlin hillsong etc.
I hear a lot of good recommendations in the taylor 514 but have yet to find one to play. I played a d35 and thought it was a tad unfocused and boomy although still nice. How are the d28v, om28v, taylor 714? Any other recommendations based in my musical likes. I need the ability to plug in and go through a sound system so that's why I was leaning towards a taylor. Is it hard to install a pickup on the martins? What are some pickup recommendations? And does it jack up the guitar like having to drill a bigger hole at the strap button for a 1/4 cable?
Thx for any help- Shane
