Long time Martin-Man "converting" to Taylor
« on: December 03, 2012, 08:09:49 PM »
Hey All,

Long time Martin man, about to become a Taylor man. Trading my Martin for a gorgeous Sunburst 2004 614-CE. Can't wait!! (I'm actually primarily a piano player, which is why I can't justify having two high end guitars; I already have two pianos!)

Congrats on the new guitar.  Oh, and it is perfectly acceptable for the number of guitars to be equal to or greater than the number of pianos.  I read that on the internet, so it must be true.  ;)

Best wishes,

Welcome to the UTGF Ellington!  Make yourself at home!   ;D

At some point, I'd love to add a Martin to my stable. I really love both in fact.  Keep us posted on your new Taylor!

Martins are good guitars.  I have had a few, right now only one.  I am also very satisfied with all my Taylors.  Life is grand.
