Welcome....I think you came to the right place. We love guitars here. Do you currently own an acoustic guitar or are you in the market?

I picked up a Taylor 214 for myself and then bought a Little Martin for my kids to learn with.  I've got a few other no name guitars kicking around but they are setup so poorly that they discouraged me from playing for years. Who knew that a proper instrument could make things so much better?

You hit the nail on the head. Congrats on your new 214......you are definitely heading in the right direction now and will enjoy the journey. You will love your time here too, so much information and great forum members.

Hey there and welcome! I'm relatively new here also, and it is a very cordial forum. Congratulations on the 214 and the little Martin!

Howdy! Wherabouts in Wyoming? We have a house in Casper that we visit several times a year. Maybe if you’re nearby, we could meet up sometime when I’m out there.
