What's your next guitar?

[azslacker]

  Looking at peoples signatures I can see that buying Taylors isn't a one and done kind of deal. I got into it pretty cheap by buying a GS-mini. Within a few months I just wasn't going to be happy until I bought a 312ce. I've had it for about 6 months now. Ever since the last issue of "Wood and Steel" arrived I've been wanting a 524ce some kind of bad. My local dealer had one and I got to spend a little while playing it. Went back into the store a week later for strings, and to see the guitar again. My heart sunk when it wasn't there. Someone out there bought my guitar. I was really hoping it would hang around, while I figured out how I was going to pay for it.       So, I don't know when, but a 524ce is in my future.

I know this is an old song, but I'm not in the market. It's not that there aren't any guitars that have grabbed my attention, it's just that I really like what I have.

They say happiness is wanting what you have. I'd say I'm happy, guitar-wise.

collecting guitars as a hobby ain't the worst thing we could do with our money. an 814ce cost about the same as a smokers habit for 10 months( here in NY cigs are $11 a pack, 1 a day, i shudder to think of 2 packs a day).
i'm not a gambler, i drink very little( i still have about 3/4 of a case of Corona that George Thorogood's bass player gave me last year...good neighbor to have huh? instant band every bbq)
with that said, i'm in the market for a GS mini or 2. that 524ce does look really sweet. i'd like to swap my macassar 616ce spr ltd toward an african ebony one. that's my short list.

I am pretty sure my next guitar will be a Gibson J200

[Harpo]

My next guitar will be a Taylor 12 string. I'll keep looking for a nice used 12, but if I can't find used then I'll probably go with a new 356.

My next "guitar" is going to be a Pono Acacia Baritone Uke  .

No new guitars for me....I'm really happy and fortunate to have what I have.

[harv]

Gibson j-35. hoping for before xmas.

[Louis]

556 Mahogany 12 string with a heavier set of strings tuned b to b.

[ataylor]

Probably a Martin. Got a great Taylor, something even better than a Gibson (Fairbanks -- and it's superb), so a Martin just makes sense. Played a 00-15M and a D-18 today and both were super.

I'd love to try out a Taylor 524 before making an unequivocal statement....

Could be that 514e Fall Limited....

no fool...no fall ltd for you. you need to concentrate on your last(next) BTO so that i can finally get the family pic.

I was quite content with the guitars I have... until we went to the Taylor factory in February.  I played an 812 12-fret on display there.  Played sweet, sounded great.  I put that in the back of my mind.  While on the boat this summer, my wife saw me perusing some carbon fiber guitars... just looking.  Really.

The woman is clever: she likes these "fun summer jobs," and knows I'd rather we were out wandering.  I may play the strings, but she knows how to pull the strings... she said, "Is it time for another guitar?"  I get the implication: work the season and the reward awaits.  I came across the Rainsong Shorty, which is very close to the 812 in size and style, but is made of carbon fiber.  A 12-fret, but the NS neck is a bit thicker than the Taylor necks that just "feel like home" to this old rock 'n roller.  She encouraged, and I ordered a Shorty SG-FLE, limited edition with the shark fret markers and abalone rosette.  Not the "Taylor sound," but some nice diversity.  It is another keeper.

I generally live with a guitar for a long while if it speaks to me.  I thought I was done before; really, very content with the selection.  Not sure I'm even more content at this point, but I know better than to say, "I'm done."

I know, I know...but I have to admit that I'm a bit distracted by that 514e!
