Why are Martin Guitars so hard to play?
The problem is that every Martin I’ve played has been orders of magnitude more difficult to play than the comparable Taylors. The person at the music shop says that it’s because Martin ships their guitars with high action and heavy strings opposed to Taylor who ships them with lower action and lighter strings.
