Members racoustic Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 I just had to post it. I have some cash to blow and have been thinking/looking to upgrade my acoustic/electric. I have been looking around and every time I like a guitar, and by like I mean reeeeeeeally like a guitar, (I have liked very few by the way) I go back and play my masterbilt and only see a tiny difference in sound quality The only other guitars I have liked are Martin HD28V (which will kick me for $3000 or so, so really out of my price range unless I go crazy), Gibson Hummingbird, Taylor 814 CE (although when I played Gibson afterwards, I prefered the hummingbird deep sound... weird). I found my epi to sound even better than a Taylor 414 and several other close to 1000 dollar guitars... I know! I am in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking around and every time I like a guitar, and by like I mean reeeeeeeally like a guitar, (I have liked very few by the way) I go back and play my masterbilt and only see a tiny difference in sound quality Yup! That's pretty much the same way it goes for me, too. Seems like all I have to do to make my present guitars sound better is to go out and try a few others that cost a lot more than I've got in mine. I'd really like to buy a Martin MMV before the price goes any higher. They've gone up $200 in just the past two years. I keep trying them on, but I can't find one that really sounds any better than my old Martin DM that I bought used a couple of years ago for $400. I just can't justify the difference in price if I don't hear any diffference in sound. I keep hoping I'll find a used MMV at a good price that lights my fire. It could happen, I guess. Meanwhile, I'll just hold onto my money until something comes along that strikes my fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members masterbuilt Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a DR500MENS and it sounds fantastic. Setup was done by Bill Foley in Columbus, Ohio (German Village Music Haus). The thing is smooth as silk to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
