Quite the misconception.

Nice! I love it when players use something out of the ordinary for the genre. The players in my church’s praise team use a Godin singlecut and a J.Mascis jazzmaster which is a little different.

I love seeing other brands than Taylor used in church, other brands than Martin in bluegrass, some blues and classic rock on a shredder super Strat, some hard rock on a Tele or hollow body. Defying stereotypes is awesome.

Interestingly enough, my wife and I have never used Taylors (own four, BTW) in a P&W/CCM format - but over the last 53 years we have used:

• Silvertone nylon-string
• Harmony Broadway archtop
• Harmony Sovereign acoustic/electric
• Aria 12-string
• Ovation Custom Balladeer 6- and 12-string (deep-bowl/non-cut)
• Ovation Elite 12-string (deep-bowl/non-cut)
• Guild JF30-12
• Guild F-20BLD (maple/spruce)
• Martin 000-16RGT
• Gibson L-7 (1947)
• Rainsong JM1000
• Rainsong JM3000 12-string
• Gretsch 6117 Double Anniversary (1964)
• Yamaha SSC-500
• Fender/Squier Stratocaster (1986 MIJ)
• Rickenbacker 360
• Godin CW II
• Gibson LP Studio (goldtop/P-90)
• Guild B-50SB acoustic bass
• Guild B4E-AMB acoustic/electric bass
• Epiphone Rivoli bass (1967)
• Ibanez Roadstar II bass
• Pedulla P/J bass
• Gibson SG Reissue bass
• Ibanez SR405 5-string bass
• Gretsch Electromatic G5123B bass
• Kentucky KM-180 mandolin
• Deering D-6 6-string banjo
• Deering Boston tenor banjo
• Gold Tone OB-250 5-string banjo

- none of which drew undue attention to anyone on the platform nor otherwise detracted from the main purpose...

Defying stereotypes is awesome - in proper context...

One of our guys plays his Explorer and his Flying V. Other than the fact they don't fit most guitar stands, no problem!
