Fresh from AGF
« on: December 15, 2011, 08:37:39 PM »
Hi all-

I've been a member of AGF for a long time, but if Taylor guitars will no longer have their own subforum there, I need a place to go! I currently own 4 Taylors, all GAs (my all-time favorite Taylor shape):

1997 Cujo14
2001 514e with engelmann top
2003 Pelican LTD
2011 BTO - sinker redwood/ovangkol


Happy Holidays to all!

My Taylor Grand Auditoriums:

1997 Cujo14 - old growth cedar/black walnut
2014 K24e - master grade koa
2018 Custom GA - bear claw sitka spruce/mahogany
2019 614 - torrified sitka spruce/flamed maple
2020 714 - lutz spruce/rosewood

Welcome Strummin' Fool, you came to the right place. A lot of familiar faces from that "other" place.
Cheers,
Terry

Welcome, Strumming Fool.

You have a great list of guitars there! I'd love to see some pix of them - especially your BTO with the sinker top. Hope you post some soon for us to drool over :D

I just left Martin Music, my favorite dealer, where I was fortunate to meet
our very own Strumming Fool!!  We had a nice chat with Eric Martin, mostly
about Taylors, this forum, and what our next guitar is going to be.  ;D 

Most of us have chatted with SF for years and I was pleased to attach a
face and personality to the name.  A genuine gentleman and all around
nice guy.  I'm glad you're here.

He'll be along soon, I'm betting, but to answer, YES!  We both talked about
how happy we are that you set this up, Josh.  Right thing, right time, right place,
right people.  Once again, well done, to you and the mods!!

Great place, great dealer.  There are some on the site that reside with me
these days.....this one you and I have talked about.  Terrific chatoyance on
that Sinker top; the top looks entirely different, depending on the angle
viewed from.

Strumming Fool has driven away from there with some, as well.

Yes, on the link you've posted, the bottom row (far left) is my 2011 BTO - sinker/ovangkol.

very nice :)

also, i was wondering if you were able to compared the ovangkol you have
to any of the other sinker top GAs with the other back & side tonewoods &
if you were, what tonal differences & qualities made yours stand out to you -
i noticed that they have quite a few BTOs with sinker or adi tops in GA & GS
models, as well as some of the more 'exotic' woods that aren't on the BTO menu
such as this one
http://www.martinmusicguitar.com/products/acousticguitars/products.php?pcid=10064&cid=37393&pid=54528
or this
http://www.martinmusicguitar.com/products/acousticguitars/products.php?pcid=10064&cid=37393&pid=54619

thanks for sharing the pic :D
