#30:  Aloha,

I am a new member devouring all of the gorgeous photos of your new guitars.  Fun. 

My new guitar: This summer I found a beautiful BE K14ce.  Holy cow!  The build and the sound go well beyond what I imagined and even hoped.  This is a beautiful guitar that I keep finding myself staring at all the amazing details between songs.  If you haven't picked one of these up and played it, BEWARE (or besure there's room on your credit card LOL)

Hope you are all having a great day... still morning here.
Aloha,
kilinoecam

#31:  In February of this year I purchased this beauty.  PS -18.  Premium Sitka Spruce Top w/ Tobacco Sunburst  finish W/, Brazilian Rosewood back and sides.  I've placed it in the shop yesterday for a few mod's.  a nice add listing at reverb, Taylor, sold  listings. Hi to low, second row.

#32:
Took delivery of this guitar in January.  Was delivered w/ 4 cracks in the top. Smallest crack was still 4 inches.  Such a pretty guitar w/a Stellar Cocobolo back, I chose to have it repaired.  Presently in the Taylor shop.  ( I need to get an update)

#35 --

Purchased March 5, 2020 just before the Pandemic whacked us, an 814ce DLX V-Class:

No. 36

Not a Taylor, but a nice old Squire II Stratocaster (1989). Needed a little work, but plays nicely now. Butterscotch with white pg, and a fast maple neck. Lots of fun for when I feel like getting electrified!

37 - GS Mini e Koa Plus

[zeebow]

38. Taylor 814ce Limited NAMM 2020 Lutz/Bocote
quick specs:
Lutz/Cocobolo V Class
Ebony binding
Ivoroid binding w/ ebony/ivoroid/paua single ring rosette w/ ebony bound soundhole

I'll probably change the tuners to antique gold gotohs w/ ebony buttons

39. Squier Mini Strat: Shell Pink

[HasseFX]

40. Taylor 214ce Koa.

Maybe no match for the more exclusive GA-models but it feels very nice and is still a nice looking instrument - the Koa sides and back adds some spice, with a more accented pattern and a lighter colour compared to mahogany and rosewood. Also, I've always been more fond of satin finishes than glossy, both look and feel! It is the most playable acoustic I've ever owned

41. I bought an Academy 12e a couple of weeks ago. I've been impressed with it so far, enough so that I'm looking hard at the new 214ce-K SB that I just read about in Wood & Steel.

We'll see. If I end up with that, I'll post another NGD.

42 !
Hey that's the answer to life the universe & everything 

Just received my BTO grand concert today (that I ordered at the start of the covid thing...)
Walnut back & sides. Sinker Redwood top & Koa binding.
And slim-carve maple neck & 1-11/16" nut so it feels like my old Taylors 
I am soooo jazzed!

#43: Another one for the list.
Since my other Taylor has served me so well for 25 years and counting, a GS Mini just had to come along.
I love this thing!





I had a set of ebony bridge pins with abalone dots laying around, and they were a perfect fit, so a little extra bling for this baby.

[hacknsmack]

#44: Picked up the new AD27 on Sept. 1st. Had a K&K Pure Mini installed (not a fan of the ES2 - sorry), put in ebony bridge pins and today I will be changing the tuners to gold. I put the gold tuners on my GS Mini 'hog and I really like the look better with the dark wood.

This instantly became my #1 gigging guitar. (my former #1, a '96 410, is quite jealous)
