How Many NGD's Did We Have in 2023?
« on: December 31, 2022, 02:21:39 PM »
We have been running this thread each year to keep track of all our NGD's (new guitar day):
2013 - 118 reported NGD's
2014 - 169 reported NGD's
2015 - 112 reported NGD's
2016 - 160 reported NGD's
2017 - 137 reported NGD's
2018 -   88 reported NGD's
2019 -   82 reported NGD's
2020 -   60 reported NGD's
2021 -   61 reported NGD's
2022 -   38 reported NGD's

This is for 2023 NGD's, which includes Taylors AND non-Taylors, acoustic and electric. It can be new or new-to-you (used).

BE SURE TO NUMBER YOUR GUITAR IN YOUR POST (i.e. #xx), TO KEEP THE COUNT GOING. If the member does not number their guitar in their post, I will modify their post to add the number, so we all can see the count.

ALSO, LETS KEEP THIS THREAD JUST AS A COUNT.....PLEASE PUT ALL OTHER DISCUSSION (REPLIES) ABOUT THESE NEW GUITARS IN SEPARATE THREADS (we encourage separate detailed NGD threads). OTHERWISE THIS GETS TOO COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING (PICTURES OF, AND COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR NEW/USED GUITAR ARE ENCOURAGED). THANKS.

#3; 1973 American Dream, (pre-Taylor) dreadnought.  Built in Sam Radding's shop, possibly by Sam or Bob.  Bob bought the business in '74 and started Taylor Guitars.

We're off to a slow start this year folks - gonna have to get in gear!

#7  2009(?) Bedell Parlor  OH-12-G - Surprisingly well made and detailed little living room guitar.

#8  2014 Taylor 712ce - 14-fret Indian Rosewood and Sitka with Vintage Sunburst finish.  Original owner rarely played it but enjoyed its beauty as home decor - sold on his passing.  Looks like it just came home from the music store - still had the original strings!

2018 312ce 12 fret.
Been looking for one of these for a while, but don't seem to come up very often. Clean example with the exception of the removed pickguard so it's got a tan line. Sent a email to the mother ship to see about a replacement. Otherwise very happy.

I just can't believe half the year is behind us and yet I'm only 9 in reporting.

#11.

Traded my Academy 12e in on a new Spruce/ironbark 514ce recently.   I was able to take advantage of Taylor’s trade in offer which meant I ended up receiving more for the A12e than I paid for it after 6 years of playing it!

Still early days with the 514ce but it’s so good!  Can’t believe how perfect it is straight away.    Doesn’t need any setup work at all and it just seems to blow me away no matter what I play!

14.  New to me Rainsong APSE (Al Petteway Special Edition).  And yes, I know that he just passed away last week.  I haven't bought a new Taylor since 2014.
Taylors:  424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska.  Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424.  Several ukulele and bass guitars too. 
*Gone but not forgotten:  a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby
