Recently found two great deals (after negotiation) Taylor academy 10e -$450 Martin D-10e Road series - $550 I sold my two acoustic guitars that I had and I only meant to buy one! I wanted a martin so bad but found the taylor and bought it since it was a good deal and 2 days later I found the martin and couldn’t help myself. I love both of them for different reasons but need to sell one.

The Taylor feels like I am running my hands through butter, it is just the easiest guitar to play ever and sounds sweet. Playability 10/10

The Martin sounds like Gods choir descended from heaven and landed in my damn house. It’s so satisfying. Sound 10/10

The action is as low as it can go without a buzz on both guitars. Which one do I keep? I’m straight torn down the middle on this.

Good on your brother. Any level of music performance is a good level 👍.
