Greetings from Queensland. I must admit that 6 or 7 months ago I'd never heard of Taylor guitars, they're just not that well known here , although that's starting to change I think. Looking to finally buy a good guitar after 40 years of bashing on cheap things, the sales guy handed me a big baby Taylor & my life changed. Considerable research , a 'find your fit' type approach & a conveniently timed Roadshow narrowed it down to a couple of models , & being a bit of a dread fan, I walked out the door with a 410ce. Couldn't be happier, a bone saddle & pins courtesy of Bob Colossi has mellowed it a little & sharpened up the bass, sounds beautiful. And my 'good luck' story - the day after I brought it home I broke my left hand & spent 9 1/2 weeks in a cast, still struggling a bit with barre chords a month on, but we'll get there!
