I’m not a big fan of mixing acoustic and electric, but can’t beat the Taylor T5 in that fieldI'm looking to buy a high-ish end acoustic/electric soon.. anybody have suggestions? I came close to pulling the trigger on a taylor 324ce the other day. I really like the modern gibson hummingbird and a few Martins too though, so I held off
my J-30, basically a Hummingbird without the bling. I don't think they have a square shoulder J-series nowadays. For the kind of money you're talking about, I'd be sure and shop around. Since I already have a mahogany body Gibson, I think I'd want to go for maple like the Dove or maybe the Firebird. Although, what I have now is a far better instrument than I am a player and that's probably not going to change much.I'm looking to buy a high-ish end acoustic/electric soon.. anybody have suggestions?

They’re so smooth. If I had crazy excess income I’d have one for sure. but Idk is it would ever become my everyday guitar. Have a Collings OM2H that is never much further than arms reach when I’m at home. Incredible guitar. Worth every penny and thank god cause they ain’t cheap lolI really want to play one
I just love how versatile they are with the 2 humbuckers and top sensor (from the videos I've watched). I'd like to see how the acoustic tone and projection is in person thoughThey’re so smooth.

I don't want to sound like a vulture waiting to benefit from the misfortune of others, but I have a feeling that if the economy does not heat up quickly there will soon be a glut of high end player instruments on the second hand market which will drive down prices. Might be worth it to wait a few months.Just get a hummingbird! I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on one soon myself..
