I'm excited to be on this Taylor only forum...I know I'll learn a lot.
I play a 2008 Taylor GS8 and have also recently added a Taylor GS Mini Mahogany which I would call "Mini Me," but the beautiful mahogany top makes it seem so different from the GS8 that I can't do that.
I love watching review vids so much I decided to create my own for these guitars which can be found at:

and have recorded a bunch (on a crappy fostex, trying to upgrade to a duet now...) You can hear and download them at
www.reverbnation.com/dougandrew. Love to play anywhere at anytime, so if you like the music feel free to contact me to book.
I've also owned a 2001 Taylor 614ce which I sold and in retrospect find this to be one of the few regrets of my life. I should have kept that beauty as right about now it would be fully coming into its own.
I had a Big Baby, too, which I don't miss as much, but it was a great value at the time, right around $300.
I think if I bought another Taylor I would try to get back to the Maple and perhaps get a GA6, rather than the 614ce...I'd love to hear what people have to say about the potential differences between the two, so i'll create a separate thread for that question.
Thanks for having me and I look forward to hearing what all of you have to say!
