[HANASHIR:16614] Guitars

[Dina Rachel Herbert <drh2002...>]

Hi Havanashira list,

I am currently a junior in college deciding on a new guitar to buy.  I
songlead at Crane Lake Camp over the summers, teach Hebrew School (music)
and songlead about 2-3 times a month for services at Hillel.  I am looking
into buying a new guitar--I'm outgrowing the washburn D10 I have now.  My
price range is between $1000-$1500, but on the lower end of that.

I've gone to a few stores and have different opinions.  One guy said a
Taylor is the way to go, another said Martins are better, especially for
folk music (which I guess is what I play most of), as opposed to Taylors
which are better for "rock."

What do you all suggest I get?  What are better for songleading?  I found
an excellent Martin (the DXC1E) and an excellent Taylor (I think 410CE)
and some other similar ones.  Does anyone have better pros and cons?

Thanks,

Dina Herbert
