Both the Taylor and Martin are incredible guitars for the price. For a $200 guitar, the Orangewood is pretty good, but it's not in the same league as the other two. I had hoped I would like the Taylor the best, because I'm not a big fan of dreadnought shape, but after listening, I have to give the edge to the Martin.

I recently bought a Martin Dred Junior, and it’s a dream to play on. for those of you who are wondering whether the Martin or the Taylor is better, when I played it in the store i immediately came to the conclusion that it really is just personal opinion. They both sound amazing.

Great comparison. The Oliver was impressive, for sure. It would have been nice to compare it with the GS Mini Mahogany. When I test drove the Mini's I found the Mahogany to have plenty of crisp but a better low end than the spruce.

[chucksturf]

For the "dollar difference" and the entry level sound, Orangewood all the way! The review was very nicely done! Thanks :)

I just bought the GS Mini Rosewood - it's a beautiful instrument, and that sound is just amazing!

[matto]

The Martin and Taylor both sound good, it depends what kind of sound you like. However, for the price the Oliver Jr. has great value.

[alann]

I played all three and ended up getting the martin jr10. It is absolutely amazing!

[hathaway.]

The Taylor sounds best in my opinion, and the Orangewood is pretty good too
btw Keshi has a GS Mini too!

This is exactly how reviews should be done. So well done! Your opinion is really appreciated and your descriptions are excellent. The way you people compare on screen really comes across well. This is a first class review and the best guitar reviews I’ve ever seen on-line. I have the Taylor GS mini Koa E. The sound is really balanced and the Koa version is the best in the line up for sound and shimmer in my humble opinion. That said, I bought a GPC 11e. What I have discovered with my only two acoustic guitars here is I need the 1-3/4 inch nut width to be a better player. After playing the Martin Dreadnaught Jr again, the scale length, 24 instead of 23.5 inch scale on the Taylor, and solid wood sound that this thing produces is amazing and better balanced due to the classic Martin, slight base heavy sound. Martin wins for me but there is no doubt the Taylor GS Mini is and incredible instrument and flawlessly built by Taylor’s Plant South of the boarder. Mexican people build outstanding guitars for Taylor and Martin. So impressive. My wife is taking over the GS Mini and I’m heading towards a Martin Dreadnaught Jr.

I play a GS mini so I’m completely biased. They check all the boxes for my needs and at an incredible value

[MarkTalampas]

I still prefer GS Mini. I've had mines since it first came out. I prefer a bright tone due to the type of music I play. I love the sound you get for the orangewood specially for the price. Id prefer/recommend it for someone whos a beginner that's really loves playing. Great review.

[jinw]

I would prefer the Olivier jr one because it seems more comfortable to play and I loved the sound of it. But the Taylor and the Martin are amazing too

[keithrevst]

The Martin sounds a tad better than the Taylor. The Orangewood guitar wasn’t bad, but I can hear a definite difference in the tone. You do have to remember $300 is a big difference in price. The Orangewood is very nice compared to the Jim Dandy or Fender parlor guitars in my opinion

[andrewsporkelson]

I personally love the bright clarity of Taylor guitars. So clear and precise. That Orangewood is nice too:..

[patrickwright]

I've had the Oliver Jr. for a year now and it has been amazing. I've been eyeing the GS Mini for a while now

[arwenundomielles]

All good, but to me, orange < gs < djr. Gs brighter and stronger tone, D jr high, mid, low tone clear, and warmest overall

[Siidhex]

I've just got to know your channel and I really liked this video in particular since I've got myself a GS Mini a couple of days ago. As a beginner, now I feel even better for choosing the Taylor it as my first quality acoustic guitar!

[juneauwatchread]

I love the looks of the Orangewood Oliver Jr. It's beautiful ❤️

[iconoclast.]

Almost said Martin until I heard the other progressions....the Taylor sounds more ambient...and balanced with a mid range balanced between high and low job Taylor....lol I’ll keep my 110 ce

[abrahampatterson]

I love Taylor’s care with gig bags, and I do think the Martin sounds the best, but I would say for the price point if you’re looking for a cheaper option as a travel or just a guitar you won’t be worried about getting too beat up the orange wood is impressive.
