Hello From Portland, Oregon
« on: July 10, 2013, 09:48:44 PM »
Hi, my name is Mark.  I live in Portland, Oregon, where I write and sing songs.

I currently own two Taylor guitars, a lefty 816ce and a right handed Grand Orchestra which I recently purchased and am enjoying very much.

Hope you are all enjoying your music.

Mark

 Hi Mark. Welcome to the UTGF. So, you're ambidextrous and/or play one of your guitars upside down.  8) Do you play anything else besides Taylor's? Unless you write songs standing up (You're ambidextrous, why not?), there's got to be a smaller guitar somewhere.  ;)

 Enjoy.

hey Mark
I live in Eugene - I have an incredible 1988 NAMM 912 C and an 810 CE LTD that I need to sell, so if you know someone who wants to buy at a great price let me know. Have you figured out how to post items for sale as the website is confusing!
