Title: Incoming Taylor!
Post by: JosephKim on April 02, 2013, 04:42:05 PM: Hey guys! Just wanted to share my excitement about my soon to be new guitar! Well it is used but new to me :). I'm making a drive on Thursday to pick up a Taylor 816ce sunburst! This is my highest end guitar by far.. I've been fiddling around on a Yamaha FG700s :). I'll share some pictures when I get it!!

i know the feeling man. my 814ce got me pretty psyched up for months before getting it. it's been more than 4 months since i got mine. enjoy and keep on playing!

At the same time I'm sort of scared I'll get there and there will be issues of some kind? It's an hour and a half drive! Haha I'm just being paranoid. Positive thoughts!

Post by: JosephKim on April 03, 2013, 10:47:49 AM: I want to add a clear pickguard as well! Since I'm buying it used, would they do it for me and have the appropriate guard if I take it to a shop that is certified to do Taylor repairs?

They may not have the pickguards in stock, but they would certainly be able to get the right one.
