My guitars
« on: November 27, 2017, 07:46:44 AM »
I Purchased my first Taylor this year. It is a 2008, 814ce and was in new condition when I got it.  The sound is fantastic and I am playing gigs with it on a loudbox acoustic amp and they sound great together.  This week I could not resist buying a Koa GS mini e that I will use for practice sessions and travel.  It is very light weight and has a big sound, really nice.  I have always enjoyed playing those smaller guitars.  My other main guitar prior to my 814ce is a '83 Ibanez 205AM artist model and It has better sound than than the George Benson GB10 and Gibson es175 that I own.  I play my electrics thru a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and a Fender Hot Rod Deville.  I do a regular gig at a small bar/restaurant and have a lot of fun doing that as well as just playing at home for hours on end.

Welcome to the forum crazyfingers.
we have one thing in common in the Hot Rod Deluxe.  Love the tubes.
