Hi ya from New Zealand
« on: July 25, 2014, 10:38:42 PM »
Hi all
Feel so blessed to actually get my Dream of a Taylor Guitar. So last week I picked up a 526 and absolutely love it.
Had a Seagull a few years back but needed some electronics so sold it for a quite good Takamine that has been great but always missed that beautiful low end sound. Boy do I have that now with this Taylor.
Look forward to chatting on Forum

Thanks Dean

Need to install a pick up and have been told the Fishman Ellipse matrix blend, but looking in the sound hole, would it fit with all the bracing etc right to the edge pretty much.

Thanks Dean

Welcome. Do you wind your strings counterclockwise where you are, south of the equator, down under and off to the right?
