Very nice too! Hadn't heard of Taylors til recently. I'll have to spend a few weeks trying some out, if my bass goes on ebay that is. So much choice out there.

Could also be worth looking at Avalon guitars, the company George Lowden parted company with. Available in various price ranges, and definitely quality stuff. Their high end gear doesn't come cheap either, mind you.

The AVALON's are really nice, Mr Warwick is an endorsee of their fine whares.  8)

Taylors are fantastic.  I have a 312ce that sounds amazing.  The cool thing about Taylors is that the necks are very similar electrics.  So if you're usually an electric player, picking up a Tayor is very natural.  Not that picking up any acoustic is unnatural but you know what I mean.  I went from an old Ovation Celebrity Deluxe with the rounded back to the Talyor and it was a MASSIVE difference.  The Ovation sounded cold and brittle and I almost had to fight it to play.  It looked cool but because of the rounded back, it would slide around and was hard to play sitting down.  The Taylor though, man, what a guitar.  The wood on the neck is a satin finish that almost feels like bare wood.  It's thinner than most acoustic necks too which makes it a breeze to play.

What about Justin's black Faith acoustic/replacement for the lost Lowther(s)

Looks to be one of these

I think he soundchecked it at Gillingham when we arrived and had a peek through the door at the venue, but he is of course still using a Lowther as his main acoustic set guitar, as you'd expect really given it sounds so god damned good.

Wouldn't mind one of the above tho I have to say

Lowden, not Lowther. Just saying.  :)
The things that you thought were so cool were just a joke to everyone else
