BINGO Well said, mark. Geat example from experience.:

So, are Taylors overrated?

IMO, there's 2 answers:

1) As a studio and/or guitar, no, they're not overrated. The got well-known and widely used professionally fast. Sure, there's been a lot of clever, strategic placement with artists, endorsements-in-fact, selling the public.
But they're a dream to work with in those applications.

2) As a (amateur or pro) solo-style artist's guitar or as a hobbyist's 'player' alone...yes. Ironically, for all the reasons that make them a great studio guitar.
