How do you tell from playing in a store what guitar is really best ?.Some might have old strings that have already taken a beating from other would be purchasers .Same for electrics .My old Harmony Sovereign was always very sensitive to strings and the age of them also . Some makes made it sound much better .This was when I played folk clubs in the 60's so they took a hammering flat picking 2-3 nights a week. Several high end acoustics I tried recently sound very dead while some cheaper ones sound better ..The Martins still came out on top ,always does for me .
