Hello Everyone! Good News Update!

[jjrpilot-admin]

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the "Unofficial Taylor Guitar Forum!"

First of all, I'm extremely thankful for the information on the "other" guitar forum. Since learning that the Taylor subsection was going to be merged with the general section, I thought it might be helpful to make a new forum based for everyone that would still love to talk about anything related to only Taylor guitars!

I know that as of right now this forum board is pretty simple.  I'm new to webpage/forum design, but hope that we can make it better in short time.  Please be patient!

Sincerely, "jjrpilot"

The Unofficial Taylor Guitar Forum is an independent internet forum which is not in any manner related to or affiliated with "Quality Taylor Guitars" based in El Cajon, California.


Good News!!!!! Some people suggested that I talk to the OFFICIAL "Quality Taylor Guitars" company about using their company name in our website address.  I was able to talk to a Wonderful Taylor representative who told me that as of now it's perfectly acceptable for us to have this forum/website.  She visited this website and saw that it was user generated etc.  She was aware that the "Taylor Guitar" forum on the other site was going to be merged/deleted at the end of the year.  I expressed that many of us just wanted another "home" on the web where we could just talk about Taylor Guitars and their wonderful products.    With this forum board, we won't have to wade through other brands etc.  I also expressed that we were not here, nor did I register this website to make any profit off of their company.  In other words, I think we're good to go! 

I do think that making this "Taylor" specific lends uniqueness to this forum.  What will make this forum even better is the introduction of Taylor specific sub-forums, which we will add soon. Once again if you visit the "theunofficialmartinguitarforum" it is alive and well!  They have thousands of members, and tons and tons of participation...and all they talk about is Martin Guitar specific.

I know that I sound like a broken record at this point, but once again, I can't explain or convey just how thankful I am for each and every one of you who joined, and who will join.

Thanks for creating a new, dedicated Taylor forum! Looks great! 

[JWELLS]

Thanks for creating this Forum. I'm a Taylor acoustic guy (712CE), but a PRS owner for my main electric rig. I'm also a Steve Krenz Legacy L&MG kinda guy. I don't have any issues with my Taylor, and having owned it for several years I can say that it's opened up very nicely with a mellow tone over time. Lookin' forward to reading all your postings. Lotsa luck.

Thanks for the support everyone!  This is going to take some work, but I believe in the end it will be well worth it.  I have NO PROBLEM with people talking/linking to other forum boards.  It's not about a competition which some forum boards believe it is...I want this to be a source of info for everyone.

You all, and your opinions/feedback are MORE than welcomed here.

Did they give you a reason for deleting your thread?

Yes...which I completely understand.  They stated that all links to forum boards that "compete" etc will be deleted.

I understand that, but the part I struggled with was the fact that they had openly stated that the Taylor section would be merged/deleted.  So they'll delete the Taylor forum, but not give me the ability to tell others about a new alternative.

I'm still going to use AGF, but I'll definitely be using this...and hope that others will do the same.

I'd like to see this be the new Taylor information source etc.

MUCH thanks for your support!  Now let's start posting about Taylors!!!!

I'm in.  I am still very happy to be a member of the AGF, but I am very interested to see what we can make of the UTGF as well.  Well done Josh.

I'm in.  As someone who operates another forum(motorcycle related), it will be tough to start, but keep doing good things, and people will come.  Thanks for giving us Taylor folks a place for refuge

Huge kudos to you, Josh, for undertaking this task!  Granted it will be a work-in-progress, but you "voted" with your feet.  You rock, friend!

Like you and many others, I am grateful to the AGF and its members who have on the whole been so kind, generous, and helpful in things guitar and Taylor.  More than just "sharing knowledge," the folks there made the Taylor forum not just a place to visit, but a genuinely cool place to hang.  But as succinctly stated by another, the gratitide I feel for the forum and its members is not reciprocated by its owner, as evidenced by his own reply.  So I will visit there while there is still a Taylor-specific discussion area.  But I cannot support a place where I am tolerated as mere excess baggage only waiting for my time to be jettisoned.

To all here now, thanks for having me!  Let us rock on, gents!
