A couple of years ago, I bought a Parkwood PW320M from Guitar Center. I played three Yamaha FS720 guitars on the wall that day and all three of those were very thin sounding. I also played a few Taylors, a few Martins, and a couple of Breedlove auditorium-like (higher end Passports). The one guitar that really sang to me that day was the Parkwood. I was prepared to spend a lot more money than I did by the time I left the store.

In the way of a comparison, I just bought a new Grand Auditorium-bodied Eastman guitar and it sounds rich and full with great balance across the strings. I sold my Masterbilt DR500MEns (big dreadnaught style) in favor of a more balanced tone.

It has been my experience that Yamaha dreadnaught-style guitars are nice guitars for the money.

Tommy, for sure. Jorma. Leo... absolutely. They have all been mentioned. I used to own lots of Chet vinyl years ago... and Jerry Reed was one of Chet's students. Glenn Campbell was also a great session-player turned singer... classical gas. Roy Clark kicks, too. Steve Howe should be near the top of the list.

It's interesting that so many posts here are first, second, or third posts... in one thread...

ooooo, it makes you wonder....
