Greetings from Sunny Southwest Florida
« on: May 22, 2020, 07:11:20 PM »
Hello from Fort Myers! Great weather here today until the short lived, Florida,  late afternoon,  monsoon we get this time of year.

I'm new to the forum. I own 2 acoustics: 2009 Taylor 314ce - it sounds better each year, and a 2016 Breedlove Concert E LTD all myrtle wood - fantastic instrument!

I am 50, self taught, playing since I was a teen. Just started lessons with Truefire and am very pleased with their platform. I feel I am finally making some progress. There's a whole world out there beyond Ultimate-Guitar tabs.

I have been captivated by the new Grand Pacific dreads and also the 600 and 700 series CEs. Thinking about upgrading the 314 to one of them. But in these times it's tough to spend that much money on another guitar. One can dream.

I wish you all a happy Memorial  Day Weekend ! Be safe.

Welcome to the forum zagloba.  In these times I think a new GP would be excellent, hope the hunt goes well.  Enjoy.
