Hello from Los Angeles!
« on: January 11, 2012, 11:29:18 AM »
Hello everyone, name is Paul. I have been playing on and off for close to forty years and currently have one acoustic guitar, a Taylor 714ce I purchased new in 1998. I discovered the AGF a few years ago and joined last year to talk about Taylors but as you know they have made some changes so here I am. After thirteen years I am finally ready for my next Taylor which means I have a lot of questions about sizes, shapes and tone woods so it's nice to find this Taylor specific site.

Thank you
Paul

Welcome Greenheart! I was going to post a link to the discuss about the new changes being made to many of the models, but now I see you've already found it! ;)

Nice to meet you. :)

Hi there, Paul! Do you have some ideas yet about which Taylor might be your next one?

Thanks for the welcome everyone! To answer your question John, I have been eyeing a new GS but I have also bee thinking of going a different direction and ordering a custom Martin. Decisions decisions.

Well, that's going to be half the fun of getting your guitar - the evaluation process, or "hunt" for your guitar :)  This may be a weird analogy, but I kind of liken it to the cave man days when people had to go out for the hunt to get their food. These days, humans still have the instinctive need and desire to hunt, but it manifest's itself in our hobbies (finding the rare auto part for a classic car at a swap meet or finding the just right guitar). Whatever it's origin, the process is fun! Good luck, Paul, and be sure to keep us appraised.

Hello Paul,

Glad you found your way over here as this place definitely has some nice vibes to it.  I still visit and post at the other Forum, but like the Taylor content here.  I bet your 714 sounds really nice after settling in over the years.  Good luck on your next purchase in whatever line you choose.
