Hello and greetings from the NJ Jersey Shore !
« 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

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!

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 !!!

Nice find Soof.  I have never seen that model.  It sure has a nice looking top.  Hope you have many happy years with it.

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.

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?
