Taylor F&F??
« on: December 10, 2013, 01:47:45 PM »
Hey all,

Anyone have any info as to whether there will be a Friends and Family event this year?  I've heard/read of nothing thus far...

it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

i'm not sure if i'd rather have the former or the latter -
money can't buy true friendship or happiness, but a lender nor a borrower be ...
perhaps a friend with money because after all, what's a few Gs between friends,
provided there's an occasional E, A, D, B & e thrown in for good measures ;)
it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

I was actually wishing for a friend that could get me into the Friends and Family sale.  Another point of correction is that I did not mean "or more money" I meant AND more money. ;) but hey I can not complain I have a new guitar this year anyway.   All the good people here on UTGF are absolutely the best ! ;D ;D ;D

Wow, double whammy:  the FF event is "normally" (or should I say "historically") been on the weekend around the 12-15th so they sprung it a bit early.   And they did a FB-only announcement just one day prior.  Wow, guess they had too many folks who were just moseying on in :)

So fees up James, others ...what'd ya see?  ...or rather, what did I miss ...lol!  :)

the place was wiped out within the first hour.. But there was a decent amount of stuff.
A lot of "Prototypes" from the last couple of years were available, especially 800 series and even a few classical models..

Edward, do you have your FB account set so you will receive notifications every time Taylor posts something? If not, click on their page then hover over Liked. It will give you options one of which is Get Notifications. When they post, you will see a '1' on your notifications section, and you will need to click on it to see which notification it is. If it is from Taylor's page, you will know right away and can click on it to access their page immediately.
