Hi from Joe at Empire Music!
« on: August 26, 2014, 10:32:11 AM »
Hi everyone.  I'm Joe Ravita and I own Empire Music in Pittsburgh.  I know I've spoken to many of you over the years and now I'm looking to meet even more great Taylor enthusiasts!

I have over 20 years experience with selling Taylor Guitars, so hopefully I'll be able to answer questions and be a good contributor to the forum.

I can't wait to talk to everyone more!

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Joe!  Somehow my brother and I managed to spend most of today in your shop and still restrained ourselves from buying...! ;)  Thanks for all the helpful advice you've provided us during our journey in becoming satisfied Taylor owners!
