Hello From the Central Coast
« on: March 08, 2020, 01:38:17 AM »
Hello from SLO, or San Luis Obispo to the uninitiated. Recently started up playing again after a 40 year sabbatical. Had a D-76 back in the day and currently have a few nice Martins and picked up a sweet Taylor Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Spruce and Koa. Loving the short scale, the smaller size, easy playing, and bright sound of the Taylor. Surprised me how much I enjoy the Taylor, it has become my go to guitar and is my primary finger style guitar. Cool site with lots of good information.

Welcome to the Taylor forum, Knut. That's a long break from playing, but at least you're back in the game now.

Hi Knut,
My wife and I love the SLO area. I have a GSk-12 that is koa back and sides with a spruce top that, to me, sounds fantastic! I love that combination of woods.
Have fun with yours!
