Just want to introduce myself. I've owned my 79 Taylor 510 for over 35 years. I was a guitar repairman in a little guitar store in Reseda, CA. when the guys from Taylor came in the owner of the store was impressed with the quality for the price and asked my opinion I said "yeah, these are nice" so he ordered a few in. I really liked the sound and action of the 510 we got in but it sold immediately. The next one we got in was not the same so I passed. A few months later I'm informed that the first Taylor 510 that was sold came back in on trade. The owner told me I could buy it for $300 but I was going through a divorce and didn't have the extra cash. The next week the owner comes into the repair area and says that Jackson Browne is out front looking for a old Danelectro 6 string bass, which I happen to have, and do I want to sell it. I told him to tell Jackson that I have one and I want $300 for it. He could get the cash out quick enough and I sold it and bought the 510..The Danelectro I had I bought for $32. But everyone was happy and it compliments my 1949 D-28. Unless I'm destitute I will never sell it or someone offers a lot of cash for Ser# 911. Thanks for reading..JR
