Hello from East Tennessee
« on: October 09, 2015, 05:49:43 PM »
Greetings all,

I am fairly active on AGF, but I'm looking forward to gaining a bit of insight from all you Taylor fanatics!  I am one of the rare breeds who love both Taylors and Martins for very different reasons.

Thanks for having me!

... Taylor/Martin hybrid...

Would that be a "Tartin" or a "Maylor...?" ;)

Welcome to the forum  gruuv.  Although I have more Taylors than Martins, I enjoy both.

My playing style changed, and I gravitated more towards my own compositions versus playing others' music as I did when I played professionally in NY years ago...Taylor's modern sound suits my needs better than traditional-sounding guitars like Martin. But I still think that they're great guitars.

 Hi gruuv. Welcome to the UTGF. Just keep them Martin guitars behind the bar til y'all go home and there won't be no trouble. ;) Enjoy the site.
