On any budget, btw.
I was told Taylor's were good and also Martin's. so many t choose from.

Martin without a doubt.

which models do you guys recommend? there's numerous that vary from 899 to 4599. i want to get good before i fork out a big chunk of change for one. i just want an idea for future reference.

I have three acoustics and my go-to is a Taylor 110. If you're looking for a sure thing in overall satisfaction, you can't go wrong with a Taylor, even in the under-$1000 price range (which is where, I've been told, Martins fall a bit short). My present upgrade plan is to get a Taylor 12-string to replace my Seagull Coastline.

Money is the obvious issue here.
Who makes a better lower end model, Taylor or Martin? I think Taylor might be the answer.

I have a takemine for sale. $200 and it has onboard eq.

If you can find it on ebay or somewhere, I'd go for the Buck Owen's Silvertone...

i kinda want one with a low action. the jasmine(takamine) i have has a really high action toward the base of the neck.

You could just get the one you have setup. And have a bone nut installed.

what does that do? you'll have to excuse me, i haven't learned all the guitar tricks, techniques, lingo, etc. 
Posted on 1/31/13 at 12:26 pm to finchmeister08
Bring it to a luthier I mean. And he can adjust the action, truss rod, and replace the cheap nut.

It really depends. I am not as obsessed with brand, as each individual guitar (even within the same model line and production run) has it's own personality in tone and feel. That said, I'd start looking at the high end Gibsons, Martins, Taylors, Breedloves, and Babiczs.

Wait, I think I'm misunderstanding. Are you looking for guitars on a small budget? I took "any budget" to mean money was not an issue. I would definitely avoid cheap Martins.
One of the main things you need to pay attention to is the wood type and quality. Not all spruce is the same. This is where you need to see the guitar and play it yourself to know its unique qualities. My Breedlove ran about $1300 and I have nothing but great things to say about it.

Also, Babicz guitars are typically under $1,400. I've never had the chance to play one, but I know several audiophile guitarists (Steven Wilson, for instance) swear by them.

I dunno jack about this stuff.but, C&M on Florida is closing. Prolly some good deals to be had.
