Hey Guys!
Haven't been on this site for awhile!!!
Ok, went into a music store to buy some strings, and walked out with the strings and another Taylor!!!
What the heck?? Ha!
Checking out some guitars as I always do before buying the strings, and spy this sunburst on the wall - a 710e...
Never that interested in Taylor dreadnoughts - always found the bass a little thin for a large body guitar. And my
Martin D-18 GE, and an older D-28vr fill that spot up nicely. That sunburst sure looked killer though, so I took it off
the wall for a go.
Whoa! Big, rich bass! Nice mids and singing trebles!!
Maybe not as prominent a bass as the Martins, but very rich and soooo sweet! What???
And it's a short scale (should have known by the slot head), so it plays like the proverbial butter!
Guess I haven't played any Taylor dreads since the re-voicing, and definitely have never played one with a Lutz top!
Clear ringing notes all the way up the neck - doesn't "plink" out like a lot of guitars will up the neck...
Well, I need a another guitar like I need a hole in the head (especially another dread), but one more bluegrassy type
lick on this thing up the neck and I was taking it to the counter!
Ya...
