The harmonics are crystal clear all over. The intonation on the Grand Manon is perfect. I loved the look but hoped I'd find something better. I mentioned passing on a J-45 some years ago, and frankly, its tone was muddy.

I also expect the Grand Manon will warm with time, yet the tone is very full across the spectrum and I'm very happy with it right from the start. The Grand Manon has all the tone of the Taylor, which is brighter than my Martin, and I do like that. It cleared the bar.Īlthough I haven't "A-B-C'd" the guitars next to each other, after playing the Grand Manan, I played the Taylor and Martin, which are in a different location. So the Grand Manon had a high bar to vault. So I purchased it.Īs mentioned, I still have my beautiful old D-28, and also have access to a Taylor 314-CE. I mention this because I'd never purchased an acoustic sight unseen (and unheard!), but your reviews were good, the guitar looked beautiful, and frankly, the price is irresistible. Some years later I passed up the opportunity to buy a J-45. I've been playing guitar for over fifty-five years, and my first steel string acoustic was a Gibson J-50 (another slope-shouldered dreadnaught) which I had sold in order to buy a Martin D-28 in 1974. Out of the blue, John Marr informed me that one had become available. I didn't expect to see one for many months.

I had been in touch with MacKenzie & Marr, as I was very interested in a Grand Manon.
