Ray Fairbanks commented on Downtown Freddy Brown's group Taylor Guitar Owners and Lovers"Howdy!
Proud owner of a 1996 Taylor 810. Great sounding guitar - well balanced, and records real nice. Can't cut through the noise in an open jam against all the Martin's, but on tape or mic'd right, it does a fine…"

It's really a nice little instrument--well built, comfortable, very much like an old Martin 00-18 (mahogany, slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, ladder…"
Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"
