Others may have differing opinions. Still others may not even like resos. D: I don't associate with those types though. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BLUtunes Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 I can't even pick a "best" of the three that I own. Each is the right one for certain applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the correct answer is "There is no such thing as the 'best guitar'". It depends upon what kind of music you play, how you play, and your personal tastes in guitar sounds. Without knowing that, there is no meaningful answer. It is simply a meaningless question. Sorry you don't like the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poppytater Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 It's not a stupid question at all. The OP asked everyone their opinion as to what the best production guitar is. Simple. He didn't specify styles of playing or music. I think most people have an opinion on the best factory guitar they've had their hands on. For me, it is a Guild D-55.

Members gitnoob Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 So help me decide which is best: a CA Cargo carbon fiber travel guitar, a CFox H-Sonoma fingerstyle guitar, or a 1937 Martin 0-17 for blues? What criteria would I use to determine which of these I liked the best? I'd kill you if you tried to take any of them from me. Best food is easier: pizza. But I'd throw up if I had to eat the same pizza everyday. Buy a bunch of guitars. It's the only way to stay sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Peter Doubt Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 My personal favorite is a well set up Martin D-35. That's for the easily obtained "mass produced" guitars. You still have to find "the one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Samilyn Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 The OP did ask for opinions about what we think is the best production git.That's not an easy question to answer, considering the many variables, and opinions as to why have been posted here.A case in point is the thread by Pinchegordo, regarding the Epi he simply cannot bond with.That is a nice production git, one that many players would love and be proud to own. It could have easily become a recommendation in this thread, given its value/quality/cost ratio....that is, if the Count had asked for opinions about gits in that price strata.Is that Epi as good as a git gets? Questionable, given that it is not customarily ranked with high-end gits. (In all fairness, I've played a couple of Epi Masterbilts that could hold their own against Martins in a mix or at a jam.)Is that Epi as good as a git gets in its price range? Quite probable.Back to the aforementioned thread, unfortunately, this particular player cannot bond with that particular git, fine though it is, so it will fall by the wayside in favor of a git that is built with rosewood, which drives home the point that many, many guitars are subjective objects, all worthy of ownership and love, depending only upon the player and his/her ear. (Excluding, of course, the notable exceptions of obvious pieces of ca-ca such as Esteban)So, can we at least try to express our opinions in a civil and courteous manner, leaving religion, politics, and OT BS out of the discussion?In other words, Gents, play nicely or I'll be forced to hop on my broomstick and kick in the afterburners.

Members gitnoob Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 OK, I'll try to play, but I want to change the rules a bit. How about "which guitars did you fall in love with, and why?" Ignoring the restrictions on easily-acquired factory-made guitars.... Martin 000-15S: for the surprising bass, the warm mahogany tone, the perfect neck, and the intoxicating smell. CFox H-Sonoma: ultra-low-profile neck, strong fundamental voice, wide nut, just the perfect small-body fingerstyle guitar. Northwood MJ: most comfortable larger-body I've played, deeeeep bass, lovely neck, beautifully executed build, and just plain hard to put down. I have more, but I don't want to make anybody jealous.

Members Samilyn Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Oops - make that Maton... no, Lowden. I've never had the opportunity to play a Maton, but I'd sure like to. They have an incredible reputation and the few I've heard online sound downright awesome - definitely give Martins a run for their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Which standard production make and model acoustic or acoustic/electric is the best overall guitar that can be purchased? Please exclude anything that is custom built,limited edition or out of production guitars that are nearly impossible to find used. I realize that this is subjective to the listener but I am curious to hear your opinions. Thanks! -Count Among the mountain of opinions here... Martin D-28.
