Hi all, from a new Taylor owner!
I began by buying a Hofner classical in 1963 (£12) and have since played many instruments, some great (Yamaha, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Gibson, Fender), some not so great (Vox, Futurama, anyone…?), and even owned some of them.
Now I've sold the three I had left and acquired the final one which will last me to the end of my days. I sampled a few in a local well-stocked store (GAK Brighton) and was blown away by how good the Taylor 214ce-K DLX sounded even against a Martin, Faith and Takamine in a similar price range.
So now I play my Taylor every day at home and every week in church, loving how good it looks and, much more importantly, how it sounds.
