Bende23 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Hi everyone, I’m looking for a secondary guitar to use for live performances and I’m torn between the Taylor Big Baby and the Martin LX1E. Which one would you recommend for gigging in terms of sound, build quality, and playability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one would you recommend for gigging in terms of sound, build quality, and playability? If you'll be needing an electro-acoustic, it'll be the Martin, as the Taylor has no built-in mic. Otherwise, they are very similar for their price point, so reputation, aesthetic and personal feeling would be he only factors, really. Can you not try each..? None in stock at your nearest guitar outlet..? The Taylor is currently in stock from Thomann; the Martin needs a couple of weeks at least before delivery. Maybe just as important would be the choice of hard case, or solid gig bag, for toting either around, depending on what transport you'll be using.

Graham50 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 You probably should be comparing the Martin with a Taylor GT Mini which does have internal pickup as an option. Excellent guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
