First Taylor
« on: January 13, 2013, 08:43:00 PM »
Hello All

I have 3 Takamine's but have always wanted to try a Taylor so now I have a 416ce (2011) it has very quickly become my favorite guitar.  I look forward to learning from all of you especially about the Taylor Expression System as I am having trouble finding a tone for recording, but I will leave that for another thread.

Thanks again

Welcome! And congratulations on your new Taylor. One of the first rules when you get a new guitar is the obligatory photo's being posted so we can all share in your joy!

 Hi rpinon69. Welcome to the UTGF. I'm sure your question about the Expression System has been posed around here a time or two. There are some threads about the Expression System around here somewhere.  Enjoy the site.  :)

Hi rpinon69,  I have had a couple of Tak's in my past, they were well built and exact copies of Martin.  I wish I still had them. I know the 416 and I think you will happy with it for many years

Thank you all for your kind greetings!

Here is a picture of my Taylor 416ce.

I was considering a 414ce but I enjoyed the tone of the larger GS body and the .13 gauge strings I have been using .12 on my other guitars.
