How many Taylor's have you EVER owned....
« on: January 02, 2015, 04:02:27 PM »
....Including ones you sold or still have in your possession. My husband thinks I am crazy with 2 Taylor's and one Gibson, I am trying to prove that I am of the minority!  :P

So how many Taylor's have you ever owned? For me..... Four: 114ce, 414ce, GS Mini Koa, 714ce

LOL! You came to the right place to get the right data for your argument.  I've only had five, but some of these other guys have had dozens! LOL.  Here's my list:

2002 614ce
2003 Big baby
2008 GS8
2011 GS Mini Hog
2013 514ce (hog/cedar)
November 2013 Taylor 514ce ES2
November 2011 Taylor GS Mini Mahogany

Looking at the list below, 11 total with 10 still here at home for the moment.  The only one I've ever sold - so far - was an original 1996 Baby Taylor, which went to an old friend for his teenage son to learn on.  (I bought it for travel, but ended up not using it that way, so not playing it very much).  One of these days, I will sell off at least five of them, but the market for nice used guitars has been pretty soft for the last couple of years.  Before I give away that much loss, they can sit in my closet again for a while longer.  My biggest issue for storage is keeping them all properly humidified, and keeping decently fresh strings on that many guitars.

Tell hubby that you are WAY behind the curve, at least for around here!    :D   Nothing to worry about........

Taylors:  424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska.  Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424.  Several ukulele and bass guitars too. 
*Gone but not forgotten:  a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby

Great psychology, think like a guy (justifying with facts) to "defeat" a guy's argument.  8)

My number of "ever owned" Taylors is 6, most likely going on 7 soon. And I have two electric guitars as well (per below). (Figured I would pile on.) How many more non Taylor acoustics and other electrics have a I owned (but not now)? Hmmm...two other acoustics and 4 electrics. Does that help?  ;D Just don't tell him that's over three decades, it's more impressive then.....

i'm not as bad as i once was -
22 currently & hoping to get it down to 20 (sell 5 , then add 3)

including the ones i've sold over the past 12 years (over 70 - lost count) -
closing in on 100, all told, & no, i haven't bought one with the
intention of selling it to make a few bucks on it from the get go
it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

Tell him I said you NEED it.  Maybe he needs to talk to my husband. I had talked myself out of the K24 and my husband insisted. Who was I to argue.

If I told him I had talked myself out of a guitar, he would respond with either "finally" or "did you find a more expensive one instead?"

Michaelw - wonder if anyone can come close to that! 20 guitars! How do you decide which to play!
