Something different than a Taylor or Martin.

I'm currently looking for an acoustic guitar and I'm fortunate enough to work in a music store. I've played this guitar (and a J-15) for the past month and I've instantly fallen in love with Gibson acoustics because of them. Firstly, this guitar is American made, so if that's something that matters to you than there you go. This guitar has a very warm and clear sound that sounds nice no matter if your style. the overall balance in terms of frequency response makes this an amazing guitar to hear. The neck feels nice, and the walnut back and sides gives this thing a unique look and sound. Overall, I was looking for something that was different than a Taylor or a Martin and for the money and overall value this guitar (and the J-15) definitely fit the bill.
