14. I have a Guild and a Taylor

and in a perfect dream world I would have also had a 1932 Martin OM-28, but I didn’t have a way to quickly get my hands on $900 in 1973. One of my major regrets.

That being said, you really have to go play them to decide. All of those makers are doing nice instruments in that price range these days.

I’m personally liking that Guild M-20 quite a lot from looking at it online. I love my F-30, it has served me well for many years.

I have a Baby Taylor and it is everything one would want in a small scale travel guitar. It will even fit in the overhead if everyone plays nice. Maybe if you get a good deal on the guitar you decide upon, you can add one of the BTs for travel fun.
