Greetings,
Just signed up here & am happy to find a new home for Taylor fanatics. No sooner than a few days after acquiring my new GA4 did the Taylor sub-forum at the AGF go bye-bye.
Anyways, I'm a relatively new guitar player. I used to play bass in a garage/party band in my early 20s. Once that dissolved, I bought a cheapo used dreadnaught at a music shop in my late 20s but never played it as it was uncomfortable, couldn't stay in tune, & just didn't connect with me.
About 2 yrs ago my daughter wanted to get into guitar & take lessons so we bought her a 3/4 size Oscar Schmidt. I kept picking it up when I'd get home from work & got the bug to play. After doing a lot of research I bought myself an Art & Lutherie folk cedar guitar in June '10. It's a nice guitar & sounds great. With the help of the internet & you tube, I found chord charts & lessons for lots of classic rock songs I like (Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Neil Young, U2, Bob Dylan, Black Crowes, etc). I recently hit the big 4-0 & got the green light from the Mrs' to get a better quality guitar with more volume/headroom for strumming. I picked the Taylor GA4 & absolutely love it! I have a friend to jam with a couple times a month & am having a blast with my guitar obsession. I test drove many many guitars by different builders before choosing the GA4. It was a major purchase for us & I'm happy to say I have zero buyer's remorse with my pick. Taylors are amazing!
Cheers - I'll post pics later in the pic folder.
