Hello from Newfoundland
« on: November 26, 2014, 12:26:40 PM »
Hi,
First post to this forum. Just treated myself to a Taylor 214ce-sb dlx. Taylor is a very popular guitar around here and I've always been impressed with the sound and playability. I bought a Baby Taylor for my grandson a few months ago so I'm not totally new to the family. I've owned (not necessarily all at the same time) Alvarez, Seagull, Ovation and Larrivee and I think the Taylor is the nicest overall. Anyway, hello again from the most easterly part of North America (any further east and I'd be speaking Gaelic).
Ernie

Welcome, I've been wanting a black guitar for awhile and looking at the 200 series myself.  Yours sounds wonderful!

Thanks for the welcome and yes it can be cold here, comes with being a rock in the middle of the Atlantic. We had our first snow last weekend although some parts were hit before that. I'm really enjoying the Taylor, the only things I plan to change are the bridge pins and I've got some coming from the company. I always really like a sunburst finish and this one is really pretty. Take Care

Welcome, Epynn, you'll find this site chockablock with fascinating info.  From Cape Breton myself, close enough that I have aunts in Nfld.  Love Grosse Morne,  moose feeds, St. Anthony's and nfldrs in general, salt of the earth they are. Cheers

Great to hear, I'm right over on the Avalon Peninsula. A long day's drive to get to Gros Morne. I've spent a little time in Cape Breton, although I've driven through it a few times. Very much like Newfoundland in a lot of ways; depending on the area some of the accents are very similar. Of course, the big thing in Cape Breton is fiddle music. Spent a week at Gaelic College in St. Anne's a few years ago trying to learn but it's still a struggle. Cheers
