Hello from South Texas
« on: June 02, 2014, 07:28:55 PM »
Hello everybody. Just purchased my first Taylor, second hand. A 210 in sunburst. For once I feel like I have a guitar I can hang on to for a while. I've had other brands, and not just the lower end models, and still found myself looking for something better. Saw this on CL. I had never seen a sunburst version on the big music store sites, so I was very interested in this one. Maybe I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but I feel like this guitar plays better than any I've owned, and sounds amazing too! Of course I have to show her off a little. I really like the look of the rosewood laminate and the sunburst looks different, in a good way, compared to other brands sunbursts. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'll be adding a mini hog to the stable before the year ends!

Sounds familiar... I said I would get a Mini one day after I got my 316ce. 'One day' ended up being about one month. When it comes to GAS, it's like riptide, better to just go with it than fight it! Welcome from South LA.

Welcome!  These days I'm mostly in Central Texas, but I occasionally get to spend some time in San Antonio.  Good thing about Taylors:  they sound good no matter where one plays them...  ;)
