Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None that I know

The C.F. Martin Company is an american guitar manufacturer established in 1833, and have consistantly produced some of the worlds finest acoustic gutars. Used by stars like Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash and many many others. The D28 design was first introduced around 1934, and is almost unchanged since. The letter D indicates that it is a dreadnought size body, and the number 28 is the design number. A standard 14 fret design, built from Rosewood, Mahogany, ...
...and played a D28 for some years now, and am delighted with every aspect of the instrument. The build quality, looks and feel of the instrument leave you in no doubt that this is a quality instrument. It very capably handles hard driving rhythm playing, with a strong but balanced sound, and will respond equally well to gentle fingerpicking styles. A beautifully balanced instrument, that if cared for will last a lifetime, and improve with age, as ... Read review

Advantages: very playable
Disadvantages: short sustain

The Epipiphone Hummingbird is my first Acoustic guitar i have not stolen off my dad. £300 is not a bad deal, seeing as the Gibson acoustics are all around £3000. The looks and finish of this guitar are very nice, i enjoy graphics on my guitar as long as they arent too loud, and this 'mockingbird' illustration is just plain pleasent. The shape of the guitar is perfect so that it can sit on your lap for hours and not ache, partly due to its incredibly ...
...you can get for a £300 acoustic, and times I thought I was playing an electric, the fretboard was just so slim, the strings were at perfect distance from the fretboard. The sound is not as good as the playability I must admit, probably because of the lightweight body, it is not hard enough to sustain the notes for a very long time, but I'd still say the sound and sustain are both average and what you'd expect for £300. I am unsure as to how long ... Read review

Advantages: A good guitar
Disadvantages: bit big

This guitar has a good sound to it, it a little bit large for my liking but it has a pure sound to it and i can see why a lot of people would like to buy this guitar. I bought this for my son, who enjoyed it for a while until i bought him a better one for example an encore. this is a very guitar for a beginner but the more experienced musician might prefer to have a slightly more expensive and better quality instrument. All in all i think that if ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, Excellent Build Quality, Beautiful tone.
Disadvantages: Not A Lot

...book), and features an embroided Taylor logo, essential for letting others know whats inside. Once you open the gig bag and lift out the guitar it becomes apparent how lightweight the instrument is. The back and sides are made from Sapele veneerand the top is Sitka spruce. While these are not the most expensive and best sounding woods used in guitar construction, this is not an expensive guitar. The old argument of which wood sounds best will run ...
...the sound hole and a Taylor logo on the headstock, but thats about it. In fairness its not about the look, its about the sound and this little (big) baby sounds amazing. They retail for about £350 new from most major music shops, however if you dig around there are bargins to be had. I paid £220 for mine and it is worth every penny. Try one and then buy one, you wont be dissapointed. ... Read review

Advantages: The neck is perfect, no stretching and very comfortable
Disadvantages: Nowhere to put a whammy bar

...it. Much better than the fender strat squire I began with, the fret boards lighter coloured wood looks better and in my opinion makes it easier to see what your doing. The neck has the best feel I have ever felt from any guitar I have played. The neck is quite skinny so easy to get your fingers around for people who suffer from that problem but it doesn't compramise on the fret boards width, i.e. the strings are not too close together. Its not that ... Read review
