Hello Everyone and Welcome!

[ee_guy]

Hello all,

I joined because i was originally trying to find more info on the Taylor friends and family sale. I ended up finding what i needed and am now a proud owner of a sweet Taylor 610ce with quilted maple back and sides. I'm relatively new to guitar only about 8mo into the journey but practice on a daily basis and enjoying the journey thus far.

Regards,
Chris

Welcome to the forum ee_guy. That is a very nice guitar you picked up, congrats.  Maybe you will post a few pictures to show us.

Hi to everyone!
I'm glad that you started this forum. It reminds me of Taylor guitar company's idea that more information for the player benefits
all involved.
I live in a suburb of Portland, OR. .. started playing guitar as a late bloomer..  but loving it more as time goes by.
I have never made a dollar playing guitar for anyone, but enjoy playing for others above all things.
I've gone through several guitars in 20 years, being happy with each one. I presently own a Guild F512, a Taylor 415 jumbo (soon to be sold), and a Taylor GS7 custom, with a 1 7/8 neck.. and believe that
it has all the qualities in it that a good fingerstyle, and strumming guitar could have.  I love it... incredible sound, playability, and volume! (I thought that my 1978 Guild F512 had plenty of bottom end, but this Taylor holds its own.)
Anyway... looking forward to interacting with you. I have been blessed to have lived in the No. CA area for 12 years, and met a lot of good people in the industry, as well as being able to attend the Acoustic Guitar Festival in Healdsburg, CA for several years...
and I am sure that I can learn a lot from all of you.

Thanks

Just an update on my previous message. I now have 3 Taylor Guitars. My wife bought me a stunning GS Mini Mahogany for christmas, lucky me eh??? I've never seen a top like this one. Most are plain but this one is something special. It plays really well too but I'm going to put some lighter gauge strings on as the medium ones fitted are a liitle heavy for me.

That's it

Ian.

Hey all, I'm Buzz from East TN. I have been playing for quite a while now. I now own my second taylor it is a 410ce, my first taylor was a 314ce with the old fishman pre amp. Oh how I wished I had my 314 back.

Welcome Buzz ... I think you will like this forum a lot!  Some good people on here!
I was wondering if you live near Johnson City, TN. I met a couple guys, who owned a book store, at a Christian music festival in Front Royal, VA back in the late 70's. They were from Johnson City, TN. They were 2 of the funniest, nicest guys I've met. They invited me along for a day trip to Washington, DC (first time I had been there).  Anyway... good memories... great times!   
Enjoy your time here on the forum!

Great to join the forum.  I've been a Taylor player for many years, acoustic and electric.  My main goal for the forum is to be able to keep my two current Taylors (T5 and 714ce) in great playing condition.  I look forward to learning from you all!  Larry S.
