Hey everyone!! Glad to join this forum. I live in middle Tn and love playing music. I am originally a fiddle player and just started playing guitar about 1 1/2 years. About 20 years ago while I was in the Navy. Our ship was in Barcelona, Spain during Christmas time and one of my good friends bought an all black Taylor acoustic from a guitar shop there. I thought that guitar was amazing! It looked great, sounded out of this world and that was the start of my thinking Taylor guitars were the stuff!! About 2 years ago, the wife told me I needed to start playing the guitar so I could sing and play at the same time(hard to do with a fiddle). I bought an Art Et Lutherie acoustic and it was a pretty good little starter guitar and helped me get going. I was surfing the internet about a year ago and saw a beautiful 1995 810 for sale at Steilberg String Instruments in Louisville, Ky and had to have it. So I bought it and it is amazing!! I played it all the time and in the bluegrass band I was in it could easily hold its own. Then I joined a country band and as loud as the 810 is, it just can't compete with the drums and electric guitar and bass and a pedal steel. The wife agreed that I needed a new guitar, so I recently purchased a 2011 T5-C1 in blue edge burst!! This guitar is so nice!! Way above my playing abilities but I am going to grow into it!!
