Default Epiphone is the best.

It's official. Epiphone is the best for 2018! I guess most people knew this already?

I guess Alvarez didn’t pay enough to get in the club.

I noticed on the fifth place Martin guitars, some of the best are the d-28 and the d-25.
I've been wanting to get my hands on a d-25.

Love this quote about Taylors:

"Although the guitars released by the company are cheap, they are worth every single penny."

Clearly a very well written and thought out article.

Well the article is garbage, but to be fair, they are talking about beginner guitars.

Wow did anyone actually read it? Very painful to read. It looks like it was written by a ten year old, then google translated to another language, and then google translated back to English.

They obviously played different models than the ones I have tried.

This paragraph about Taylor's 200 series guitars cracks me up:
"Taylor 200 series is one of the best series at the enterprise. All the models under this series offer a big sound at a very reasonable cost. The 200 series models are smaller in size, but it doesn’t affect its popularity. So that, excellent tone quality and portability are the only reasons behind the love for Taylor 200 series."
Set aside that it is barely coherent writing, the funniest part is this sentence, "The 200 series models are smaller in size, but it doesn’t affect its popularity."

The 200 series is SMALLER IN SIZE? LMAO!

I've spent many a sleepless night worrying about just where all these guitars ranked in comparison with each other; now, perhaps, I can finally get a good night's sleep!

When I was searching for 00 sized guitars I did a lot of Google searches for "best 00", etc. to get more perspective. No site mentioned Collings, or Martin 00s, or SCGC. It's like they are blind to instruments that cost more than $700. I feel like a lot of these site reviews are written by people who really do not know enough about guitars to be writing about them. And none of them ranked the same guitars in the same order. I started feeling like whoever was paying them advertising fees got the top spot.

Thankfully we have AGF and TGP where we can go for a dose of truth and reality in all matters guitar.

Ever pause in a music store to listen to a gaggle of high school juniors BS each other about guitars? Yeah, this article and chart are about that authoritative.
