Hello and welcome, autovon!
Yes, I found
the one. I found it at a pawn shop with dried goo all over the top--it had (and still has) a top with multiple marks on it and a hole in the side (but no more goo).
I couldn't believe its tone. That's what really spoke to me. Having bling is nice, but if the tone of a guitar doesn't pull you in (at least for me), then I have little to no interest in it. After all, when playing a guitar, how much does the player look at the bling? When I play, I'm listening to its tone. That's what moves me when it comes to guitars.
Please pull up a chair and hang out here. We've got terrific members who love to talk Taylor.
