Martin vs Taylor Tone Showdown

Testing my ‘67 Martin D18 vs my ‘92 Taylor 810 to see comparisons on tone and feel across different genres.
Examples in the video:
Melissa by The Allman Bros
Lie In Out Graves by Dave Matthews Band
Drop D- Midnight Rider and Can’t Find My Way Home
Travis Picking - Doc Watson
fingerpicking - Blackbird
Traditional Bluegrass
Would love to hear your thoughts.Both are great. I feel Martin wins for overall tone especially Bluegrass and Taylor wins for Tone + Playability and Versatility

They are very close in sound and they both sound amazing. I am going to say the Taylor has a clarity in the top & bottom - but has a very warm rich mid. The Martin sounds just a bit warmer and more focused. My guess on the firmness of the Martin might just be a bit of neck relief adjustment and maybe setup, but the next level test is to try different strings on both. There may be something different that feels better (gauge/material) on the Martin that still lets is rich tone shine. I don't know b/c I don't have any epic acoustic guitars at my house!😍
