Shamefully admitting I have never played a D28 for long enough to develop a memorable impression, let alone in a group setting. I have leaned toward Taylor "brightness and shimmer" in terms of tonal preference.

This is the comment I hear quite often. I can imagine that walking bass lines are glorious! And I play those. But I also like to travel up the neck and do fills and lead in the higher frets. There are very few comments as to how the guitar stands out in this regard.

Thanks!
