I saw this at a shop today for $41. It's cheaper than what I've seen online. Given that I could buy the Taylor 20 for about the same amount, which is the better one to buy?

Kinda a personal preference, but I like the Rocha a tad bit better. Either way that is a good price for the Rocha, I'd grab it.

Yeah that's a great price for the Rocha, and it's one of my favorites. I do like the Taylor's also though... him... tough call.

I know, BUY BOTH!!! :lol:

I would buy the Rocha simply because you can literally find the Taylor 20 everywhere.

If you can't afford both right now, hang onto this one for a while and buy the Taylro later, compare em side-by-side and purchase more of whichever you preferred. :)
