This is both fun and informative! Great thread ! ZMF posted that Collings has more "piano" than Taylor. I would add Northwood to the mix as having a "piano"-like sound (have never played a Collings so can't speak to them). FWIW, it might be insightful to add this question to the mix - "which 2 guitar brands are most similar to you"?
Cheers! |

I'd put Emerald and Rainsong in another category, with the composite guitars. And Ovation. . . it's in its own category, since their sound is genuinely unique.

Gibson is the school where Old School studied.

See posts #6 & #10. They both have Gibson in their lists.

Where would Takamine fall on this list? Haven't heard or played some of these brands to have a true sense of where they fall.

I would classify my new Takamine EF360S-TT as Vintage/Modern. It's a powerful Sitka/Rosewood dreadnought with a nice balance across the spectrum with it seems unlimited headroom. It has clarity and brightness of tone that is very transparent and open.

I pretty much agree with you. Then, again, we're starting to expand and parse on the OP and that's where we can end up displeasing some players as I have done in another comment in the thread. To show what I mean I'd expand the categories or range to say that Ovation was the Original Modern Guitar, and Taylor and other "modern guitars" rank in the Neo-Modern Guitar range. See what I mean?

Some great input so far! Of course there are no right or wrong opinions, but it's nice to get an idea of what 'Vintage' and 'Modern' mean to different people!

While not high end like most of the guitars mentioned i’ve Been playing my Seagull mini jumbo this morning. Cedar over lam. Cherry with nickel bronze strings. I would place it just off the center line towards vintage.
As far as my USA Breedlove Sitka over rosewood goes I would put that just on the other side of center towards modern.

Sorry, but a linear scale for something as complex as tonality is nonsense.
