New 214CE on it's way...
« on: December 03, 2012, 03:07:19 PM »
Just ordered a 214CE-L (yes, I'm one of those lefties) to replace my OLD Yamaha FG350, daily player, that I bought in 1981.  I figured after 31 years the Yami can retire.  I mostly fingerpick, and finger-strum, and I wanted a cutaway.  For that type of playing, the 214CE just sounded better to me than several other brands that I tried.  I then watched all of Bob's videos one night, and decided he was a good guy and I should give him my money.  It should arrive in a few days.  I'm hoping my wife lets me play it early, as it IS a Christmas present!

BTW, it is a pain buying lefty guitars, A lot of driving around to try what you want left handed.  I actually had other guys play some guitars, so I could hear them properly (including the 214CE) before I made the purchase.  You right-handers are lucky!

Glad to have found this forum.

Hi Rob4! Glad you found us!  Congrats on your new lefty Taylor! ;D

Lots of good folks here!

Ps I'm right handed but I play all my sports left handed...specifically golf. Lefties are always some of the last to get the latest golf gear :(

Welcome to the forum.  Yes, left handed but right minded. ;D

Rob, you know what is funny?
I just ordered the exact same Left Handed Guitar from California as a gift for one of my older brothers and it is shipping Today.
I am hoping he gets it by Friday.  (In Florida)

Interesting coincidence..
I asked Taylor to restring with the lightest strings.
I want my Brother to realize how easy it is to play, so he will give it his best shot.

Hoping he sticks with it long enough to get hooked..

 Hi Rob. Welcome to the UTGF. I'm left-handed, play guitar right-handed, go figure.

 You won't regret buying that 214ce. Congrats.

 Enjoy the site.
