Hey there....
« on: May 04, 2020, 09:58:59 AM »
New to the forum (obviously) after acquiring a 1998 Taylor 914c a couple months back.  It has always been something of a "dream guitar" for me as well as the Martin HD-28 I had made last year.  I thought it would be beneficial to my Taylor ownership to see what others have, do, how they set theirs up, technical matters, etc. 

As a public health official here in Michigan, I find myself spending more time with my guitars to divert my attention and take my mind off Covid-palooza. 

Happy to be here!
