   We Toured Martin & Taylor at the Same Time - Here's What We Learned

   In this episode of the podcast, The Chapmans (and Hinkster) sit down to organize their thoughts and compare their recent trips to the Martin Guitars factory and the Taylor Guitars factory. These two legendary brands take very different approaches to building world-class acoustic instruments. We are breaking down the differences in their manufacturing processes, their company cultures, how they approach tonewood selection, and how those varying philosophies translate into the final tone of the guitars.If you have ever wondered exactly what separates a Martin from a Taylor behind the scenes, pull up a chair and join the conversation! 🔗Shop Taylor Guitars Here! - https://theacousticshoppe.com/collections/taylor-guitars 🔗Shop Martin Guitars Here! - https://theacousticshoppe.com/collections/all-martin 🔗Join the Dread-Not Underground!
