Title: Hello and greetings from the NJ Jersey Shore !
Post by: Soof on April 11, 2017, 10:28:38 PM: I just joined and wanted to say hi and how delighted I am to have found this site.

I just ordered what sounds to me like a very interesting Taylor 110.

It is a prototype 110e which I found at Island Music in Md on their web site. I called Taylor and they confirmed that it was a genuine prototype made in Aug '16 and shipped to Island Music in December. The top is Mahogany instead of spruce.

It should be here in a few days. Of course, I can't wait !!!

Will let you know when it arrives!

Reagrds all,
Russ

Post by: SoCalSurf on April 12, 2017, 09:44:29 AM: Welcome, Russ! Glad you called Taylor to verify-- the first thing I thought of when I was reading your post was, "I hope this isn't a counterfeit."

You'll enjoy this forum very much. And your guitar, of course. Have fun!

Post by: Soof on April 20, 2017, 10:35:59 PM: Hi all ! Here are 2 photos I took earlier today of my new 110e proto.
As you can see the soundboard is darker than spruce. It's a one-off mahogany confirmed by Taylor.
As you can imagine I'm lovin' this baby !!!

Hey, that photo is Bruce-worthy.

Where on the shore do you hail from? I spent the first 4 summers of my life in Belmar and vacation annually in Cape May.

Post by: Soof on April 26, 2017, 09:59:00 PM: Hello JT !

Spring Lake Hts is just a hop, skip and a jump from Belmar. The town below Belmar is Spring Lake. VERY expensive property, especially on the ocean front ! Walk 1 mile due west and you're in Spring Lake Hts. The Railroad tracks literally separate the two towns. I'm from the po' side of town ;D Actually, we are very middle class but it's tough living on fixed income as both my wife and I are retired.

Thanks for the compliment on the photos.

Where are you holding up these days?

Soof

Post by: Cindy on May 01, 2017, 11:58:25 AM: Welcome! Beautiful guitar and definitely worthy of praise!

Mmm...Spring Lake. Yup, I remember driving around there when I lived in Woodbridge. Gorgeous area but expensive as you mentioned. Enjoy both your guitar and the area in which you live. :)
