Says with Martins you are only paying for the name...well I totally disagree with that and started to think he was trying to push these Tanglewood's....Do you own one?
Thanks Daza.

I DO wish salesmen wouldn't do that - bad mouth somebody 'good' to sell what they've got. I bet if he'd had a Martin in but no TW, it would have been along the lines 'yes, well you get what you pay for, the TW does it (really well for the price), but the Martin does it better' - or something similar.
Bang for buck, the Tanglewood looks really good, like Yamahas, like Seagulls etc etc.
Play what you love, love what you play! Best of luck, enjoy.
