Taylor or Martin?

Which of these is better:
i) Apple ios vs Android
ii) BMW vs Audi
iii) Gibson vs Fender
iv) Helix vs Kemper
v) Martin vs Taylor

If you answered mostly the first brand in each pair above then a Martin is the guitar for you.

Science innit?

I make that Martin 10 - Taylor 2 (including The Pirates as one vote only). So in my mind that is offical;

Martin is definately better than Taylor.

However, almost every other brand mentioned is better than both.

I believe this is exactly how the Daily Mail science column works!

Nah.... this thread is way more thoroughly researched than anything in the DM.

ii) both driven by cunts

re Gibson, when I was in the market for a nice acoustic (this was '06), I really, really wanted a gibson. But all of them were utter dogs, one of them even had a broken strut, when I pointed it out to the member of staff, he put it back in the wall. £1200 they were asking for it.

This is unfortunately true.

But don't write off Gibson, if you can play the actual guitar you (may!) want to buy - when they get it right, they get it so right that nothing else touches them. My Dove is simply the best-sounding, best-playing acoustic guitar I have ever experienced - literally 'the sound in my head' of what a great acoustic should be, and - despite its long scale length - feels like it's strung a gauge lighter than it really is. And despite being very much *not* what I thought I wanted in an acoustic guitar, or even what conventional wisdom says should be good - it's all-maple but sounds warm and full (not hollow or bright), has a huge thick bridge (but sounds vibrant and powerful), is a dreadnought (but fingerpicks as well as it strums), and looks like Dolly Parton's handbag (I don't really like flashy guitars) - then that's OK as well.
