The Mothership
« on: January 13, 2018, 02:51:00 PM »
I am off the San Diego for a few days.  If I go to the factory do you think I will see any of the new projects for 2018? 
Actually I am going for business and may not have a chance to even go to the factory, but I am hoping.

If you keep your eyes open during a Tour, chances are you will see some of the new stuff. It probably won't be highlighted or pointed out, but you may see some guitars in various stages of building that are unusual. That's my experience...

Hey MGap, so did you make it to the factory? I just dropped in tonight after a LONG absence from the forum, glad to see you're still holding down the fort! Had I known, I might have joined you for a tour. BTW, still very grateful for that spring 09 716 ltd Madagascar you sold me, hope you're well bud! Cheers, D

Good to hear from you dmccrider.  I  had some business conferences over on Coronado Island at Loews hotel, but they went long and we did not go to the Taylor factory, it just did not give us enough time so we went to the Nat in Balboa Park.  I was thinking about your 716 ltd when I saw one for sale somewhere, it has a really good tone, I am pleased you are enjoying it.
