My question for those naming Taylor as the most Over-rated guitar on the planet is how many of you have owned a couple of them.
I've owned two of their higher end models and sold both of them. Nice looking, easy playing, not to bad a sound, but I just did not care for them when compred to Gibson and Martin.
Kept the first one for about 10 years and the 2nd one about three years but I don't think I would consider them overrated. Just a matter of taste. I agree with taking the right guitar to the right venue. I would have one if I was still playing worship music.
Seems like for acoustics the preference is Gibson, Martin and Takamine. I've had a couple high end Takamine's too but felt the same about them as I did the Taylor's but I wouldn't say they're overrated either.
If I was a younger man on a budget, I'd be buying Dean's. I like a lot of their designs.
I really can't think of any guitar I think as overrated.

Just listened to the new Emmy Lou Harris and Rodney Crowell CD Old Yellow Moon
A few of the tracks are really good but too many are 'fun' songs that I don't care for.
They are two of my favorite artist but I wish they would have stuck with the great harmonies they do together.
I would have thrown in a few more classics and a few more of Rodney's songs.

Aaron Lewis - The Road - I like it. Alot.
Most of the acoustics are dropped a half step then from there there's some dropped D tunings.
This gives Brent Mason (one of my favorite Tele players) some growling in his playing I haven't heard from him before.
Check it out.
