As for the Taylor/ Martin, Fender/ Gibson thing, I would definately choose the Martin (probably cause it what I've got and I'm getting quite attached to it) and Gibson -my dad has a byrdland, its my all time favorite guitar, he had a Lespaul too, that was really good.
Having said that, I've not been playing long, so my opinion is based on their sound alone.
I'm probably gonna start an argument now aren't I?
