Happy NGD to me- 224 K dlx
« on: February 26, 2018, 08:47:13 AM »
After a serious case of GAS that  goes back to my first Taylor Road show  last fall, I finally took the plunge on a new 224K dlx. I love it. The Koa still needs to open up a bit , but I am confident that it will. The playability of this guitar is incredible . Thanks to the forum members who, rather than talking me off the ledge, encouraged me to jump. I never thought I would be so blessed to own and play these beautiful Taylor guitars

Congraulations, that is a beauty.  Like Taylorgirl said: "We are here to help".

Indeed, welcome to the 200DLX club, an exclusive domain where only the truly refined connoisseurs and purveyors of quality understand ...oh, oops, wrong blog, sorry!  ;)

Glad you jumped, Steve! As I had said before, my 210DLX has no business being as good as it is; just a great series these deluxe models that fly well under the radar of guitar goodness!  But beyond this, yours is stinkin gorgeous, yikes! Enjoy in good health, sir!!  :D

I had one of these.  Great sound.  However, I discovered a crack on it so I returned it and started a rapid series of guitar exchanges until what I have now.  Yours looks beautiful.
