Thanks for approving my request to join!
I am a first time Taylor owner (bought in January 2021) and a lower intermediate player. I play an obsessively large amount of Grateful Dead amongst others things! I recently bought a K24ce Builder's Edition (yup I have no issues buying above my ability!) You can check out some video's I've done on my youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/jkstrawIt is a beautiful guitar, just the acoustic sound I was looking for! I have two immediate questions I'll be searching for:
1. A good transparent pickguard to protect the silent satin finish (I agree there is some romance in letting it wear naturally, ie. like Willie's trigger. But I can't help wanting to keep it looking unblemished for now)
2. How to dial in the ES2 (worst sounding pickup I have ever had - at the moment). I've followed Taylor directions by backing off the pickups and slowing bringing them back - but that amplified squeal from the pick and fingers on the B and G are a nightmare to listen to.
Please don't think I am slagging my new guitar - I LOVE it!!!! I just wanted to introduce myself and give you glimpse in to why I asked to join
No need to respond to those questions - I will search the forums as I am surely not the first to have these questions.
Here are a few pics of my guitar...because guitar pics are always fun!
Keep on pickin' and grinnin' - thanks again for letting me join!
Cheers,
jkstraw
