Title: First time member, long time Taylor owner
Post by: khh on May 11, 2012, 12:21:48 AM

I bought my pinless, mahogany Taylor 410 in 1991.  I had never heard of Taylor, and was looking to buy a Martin.  After comparing the 410 with comparably priced guitars, I fell in love immediately.  It's been a work horse guitar and many people are amazed at the sound.  I recently had my frets re-crowned, and changed out the tusque for a bone saddle. I play regularly in my church, and in a Celtic band.  When I first played the guitar at the shop, the clerk commented that I really didn't play well enough for this guitar.  Needless to say, I've improved a bit over the last twenty years or so!

Hi Khh!  It's great to have you here!  Make yourself comfortable...I think you're gonna like it here.   ;)

As to the clerk that said that to you...well...he needs a lesson in customer service...and it sounds like he almost shot himself in the foot.  Last time I checked, most sales people don't try to discourage you from buying stuff.   :o   ;)

Hi and welcome.  How about a sound clip of your favorite Celtic song featuring you and your Taylor.

Several months later, here's a sample.

 I know that song from SiriusXM on their Bootleg channel. They killed that channel in October 2012 and I didn't bother to renew my account the following month.   

 I'm glad you didn't listen to the clerk at the guitar store.  Don't Think Twice is a beautiful song and you sound great.  :)

 Thanks.

Good for you for NOT listening to the clerk at the Guitar store.  You should go ahead and send him/her that song.

I enjoyed your rendition of Don't Think Twice, thanks for sharing.  The vocal style reminded me of one of my favorite artists, Gillian Welch.

Welcome!
