Another new Taylor owner.....
« on: August 18, 2013, 05:37:52 PM »
Hey Ladies and Gents!  I am a converted Taylor Owner!  A novice player, but I have bought and sold alot of very nice guitars over the years but never a Taylor.  So I had a 10 year lapse in playing guitar.  After a nasty divorce I gave up every nice guitar up I owned.  My guitar playing buddy became my ex father in law, well you know the story.  My favorite couch guitar was a Gibson LG 0, don't give me a hard time, I really liked that guitar.  I was in search of a smaller couch guitar and with a bad case of GAS I bought a 2000 Martin DM in mint condition.  Awesome guitar for an HPL, but a couch guitar it was not and didn't get alot of playing time in the year I owned it.  So, I was in search of a good couch guitar and did some research.  I looked at the Little Martin and Baby Taylor, but really was not satisfied with their tone.  Then GAS really kicked in when I caught wind of the GS Mini, and they had a hog version!   Long story short, the DM sold after a day on Craigs list, I could have sold 10 of them in 24 hours with the phone calls I got.  The same day, I found a mint GS Mini hog on Craigs list in like new condition for quite a bit less than a new one and scooped it up after a 2 hr drive to Orlando.  Wow, I found my couch guitar and love it!  So that's my story........

Hey Don!

Welcome to UTGF!

Don't worry about anyone hating Gibson, we're not like that. We love all things guitar but especially love Taylor!

Enjoy the site and more importantly the friends you will make here.
