Hi, I suggest you do a search query for Gibson J-35 and you will find a few threads about this guitar as its been discussed quite a bit here.
You can also join the Gibson acoustic guitar forum where you will find many threads on this guitar, lots of love for it in short space of time.
I played one for first time last week and found it a really easy, fun guitar to play. Highly responsive and crisp for a Gibson, the trebles really ring out. Hence I can imagine why it might appeal to Taylor fans. Having said it still has that Gibson midrange growl and old school, woody tone that you expect from a Gibson slope.
Be careful now, when I returned to playing guitar after a 15 years break the guitar I bought was a 214ce. I had it exactly six months before I realised I wasnt a Taylor guy, sold it and bought my first Gibson .... and look how that turned out ...
