Default Altman vs Rick Hayes vs Merrill Guitars

Anyone had the opportunity to compare these guitars? I'm especially interested in the Hayes.

Smile Hayes

I played two Hayes guitars at Morgan Music this past week. They are well made, quality instruments but didn't do anything for me. Just a personal preference, that's all.

Not familiar with all 3 but Merrill is the real deal if you want that vintage Martin sound. Neve even seen Altman or Hayes, so I can't say.

I've played all of these brands .......... but not at the same time.

All are good. I believe it's more important to test the individual guitar.

Some guitars will appeal to you more than others.
