[Ps346]

Hello all,

There are clearly many experienced acoustic guitar players here, so any guidance would be much appreciated.

I am someone who has played for a few decades, but I am still just an intermediate player with a low-end Yamaha guitar.

For the most part, I just finger pick, and I love a warm (but not muddy) , resonant, powerful sound.

Can anyone make suggestions on a good guitar like this in the 2K price range?

I have tried most of the Taylors and Martins, and I lean toward the Martins (as most of you could probably surmise – given my preferences).

I think the sound that I liked the best was that of the HD-28. I was thus thinking of an HD-28P (with the wider nut width for finger-picking).

Anyway, I have been feeling very confused lately because I know that there are good Larivees and Breedloves out there as well, and I wonder if I could get a better guitar for my money with one of those.

Needless to say, I want to be happy with this guitar purchase.

Thanks very much for any suggestions and guidance.
