Title: Hi ya from New Zealand
Post by: deannicholl on July 25, 2014, 10:38:42 PM: Hi all
Feel so blessed to actually get my Dream of a Taylor Guitar. So last week I picked up a 526 and absolutely love it.
Had a Seagull a few years back but needed some electronics so sold it for a quite good Takamine that has been great but always missed that beautiful low end sound. Boy do I have that now with this Taylor.
Look forward to chatting on Forum

Thanks Dean

Post by: deannicholl on July 26, 2014, 11:32:05 PM: Need to install a pick up and have been told the Fishman Ellipse matrix blend, but looking in the sound hole, would it fit with all the bracing etc right to the edge pretty much.

Thanks Dean

Hey Dean. Welcome.

Not an expert myself but I hear really good things about K&K pickups.
