steeler,

It must put a smile on your face to pick her up and play. You must have loved your Grandma very much, and you picked a really nice guitar for her remembrance!

Also love the tree reflections in your pix. NICE.

How does it sound?  I absolutely LOVE the GS body style.  Taylor hit a grandslam in my opinion.  It stil has the boom of a dread, but is able to really sing like the smaller body types.   8)

Huge congrats!  Taylors make the best 12 string ever, bar none, and I mean that without hyperbole because of tone and particularly how they play.  Not to mention I love the pics with the reflections ...nice!

And as for body size, I like the look of jumbo 12s, honestly because they just look cool.  But for tone and feel, Taylor's GS seems made for the 12 strings.  A perfect combo of form and function if ever there is one, IMHO.

BTW, I won't pry for the story, but suffice it to say your TRC offers a wonderful tribute.  Good for you for making a statement there, man.  Talk about making an instrument truly special!!
