fender guitars prices

Are Martin and Taylor acoustic guitars really worth their prices?
I’ve heard mixed reviews through the years, some say that you are just paying for the names while others say the sound is worth the extra money. I’ve not played either, only Fender and Washburn acoustics. If anyone has experience with these brands I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thanks
Martin and Taylor both are excellent guitars. Taylor is made for James Taylor..Martin guitars are known for their quality and playability etc. So either one you choose from these 2 will be a definite upgrade from the Washburn and the Fender acoustics. Good Luck.
