Yesterday I took a ride over to Russo Music in Asbury Park (fab store) to try out 2 different Taylor mahogany guitars. Both similar, yet different guitars, the AD22e and the 322e 12 fret. Both sounded fabulous and the 322 was a contender. But after an hour and a half, I decided against the slot head 12 fret 322e and went for the 14 fret AD22e.
Playablilty is second to none, I really dig the Taylor neck, it plays itself. It's my first mahogany topped guitar and the warm and full sounding mid-based tones have knocked me out.
Can't wait to gig it, which will be next Friday, my next gigs before than are outdoors and my Rainsong will be accompanying me in the heat.
