. It's the prototypical American musician/guitar player/guitar addict story. I found myself in a dark place recording in LA in the mid-90's and felt an empty place for a different sound that my usual fixes didn't satisfy at that moment....... In a weakened state I began experimenting with Taylors ( I know. Don't judge) from the '90's through 2010, or so, then got really addicted with my first 814. I tried to kick the habit a few times cold turkey, of course, then relapsed and realized that my addiction to Bob's urging me to "here buy another....... you know you want to....." led me to my 912 and 914 which meant I was probably destined to have a Taylor, or two, in the entourage for the long haul. Like most addicts, I sought the comfort of like-minded users here at the UTGF.
