Hey you guys. Greetings from San Jose California. Been playing for 22 years this April and while my first "serious" guitar was a Takamine Nylon followed by an Ibanez GA6CE nylon also, when I was ready to switch to steel and played a Taylor, everything else just sounded like crap. Got my first Taylor in 2009, a 2007 Fall Limited GS4E which I absolutely love. And last Christmas the wife finally agreed that I "needed" a GS Mini. I've been using it exclusively for the last month since I play for church every week. Love this forum.
