Although I switched from Taylor to Martin because of the increased tone and resonance, I think Taylor could teach Martin a thing or two about educating newer players like me about their offerings.
I'm with you on this 100%! My D-41 is my first Martin coming from a strictly Taylor background and I had to make a thread on here asking for the differences since I was lost! Thanks to the great folks here on AGF and by doing some research, I have a better understanding of their guitars, but I'm still clueless to most of it. I had Taylor guitars number systems down to a tee and even did a powerpoint lesson on it for an Instructor Development class I was attending!
