Honestly, playability truly is on a guitar by guitar basis, and also requires a good setup.
A lot of people will say that Taylors in general have better playability than Martin for example, but I had a Taylor 810 setup for super playability, yet it wasn't very comfortable for me. So in that case I'd say for me that playability wasn't very good. On the other hand, I now own Martins (one that had a setup, and one right out of the box) that have ideal playability for me, and were both half the price of the Taylor. I excel in ways on these guitars I never could on the Taylor because they feel so natural to me.
So in other words, seeking out a certain brand or even model over another isn't going to guarantee you anything.
