Hello from Rome, Italy
« on: June 17, 2016, 11:45:01 AM »
Hello to everybody, I'm Riccardo from Rome, I work as a singer/backing vocalist here in italy with some famous artists and in many TV shows. I'm not a great guitar player, but I'm a big fan of acoustic guitars. In many years I've owned many high end acoustics (mostly gibsons and guilds, but also martin and some taylors). After all these years, just recently I rediscovered the taylor playability and consistency, and after some experimentations with a various woods and shapes, I found that the GS rosewood is the guitar that best fits my playing style and my tastes in terms of acoustic sound, so two weeks ago I bought a new 716e, and I'm very pleased with it!

Hi Riccardo, welcome to the Taylor forum! A 716e rosewood has got to be a powerhouse of a guitar. Very nice.
