Hello Everyone
« on: January 17, 2016, 05:56:45 PM »
Just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is John and I am new to the forum and relatively new to Taylor guitars.  A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play a Taylor for the first time.  It was a 714ce.  I fell in love with it, but couldn't afford to buy it.  A few months ago, through a very generous gift, I was able to purchase my Taylor 314ce.  I can't put the thing down!  Anyway, good to be here.

Thanks, Taylorgirl.  It's good to hear you say that about the 300 series.  I often get frustrated with other Taylor owners playing down the 300 series as if they are somehow inferior.  As far as I'm concerned, it's an amazing instrument.  I'm also a big believer in the idea that the best guitar for a person is the guitar a person will actually play.   ;)

Last time I checked you can't get sound out of abalone so congrats on your fine 314.  The x14 series is just so versatile.

Hi John.  Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your 314 - great choice.  (and I don't think you'll get too many on here playing down the 300 series)

I actually prefer the tone of the 3xx and 4xx series. They may lack the bling, but for me, the tone is the most important aspect of a guitar. Enjoy yours! :)

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum. Lots of 300 love here. I have 2 314ce's(one Sapele, one Rosewood) and they really make me smile. My 2004 just keeps getting better with age and yours will too. Enjoy the music.
