Welcome to the Unofficial Taylor Guitar Forum! > Welcome to the UTGF! Please introduce Yourself!
Hello Everyone and Welcome!
Ronc26:
Thought I'd try once more here. My previous attempts from my Ipad were cut from a couple paragraphs down to a few characters . .. . or maybe the site just cut out the low quality content automatically :). Thanks all and I'm looking forward to using this forum for great info.
I began playing way back in high school, and after several guitars bought the nicest one my limited college budget would allow in 1974 - a Giannini. It has a nice tone and was made of cedar and Brazilian redwood - and I enjoyed playing it for 45ish years. But many years ago I picked up a Taylor that played and sounded wonderful. I'd wanted a nicer guitar for many years and finally decided last year to go for it, and after research/playing I was thrilled to purchase a new 714ce. Then about a month ago I saw a video from Alamo Music comparing a new 714ce to a 20 year old 714ce. It sparked my interest and I called them when they opened the next morning and the 20 year old 714 had not sold. So after a quick conference with my lovely wife I called them back and snagged the 2002 model. It's really great having the two models to play. The 714ce really appeals to me for it's quality and its decorative simplicity.
I'll try to past a link to the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrWVbwULHzs&t=20s
Anyway, I'm just a recreational player but really like much of the Taylor line, especially the two samples I'm enjoying. Hopefully this posting works better than the initial tries and again, I'm looking forward to enjoying the forum!

Welcome Ron!
You have some great Taylors there. I've been a big fan of the 700 series for years. I currently own a 2020 714 that is such a beast! I used to own a GC 7 (same wood combo as your older 714), that was sooo sweet sounding! I ended up preferring the grand auditorium size, as you can see in my signature. Thanks so much for joining our group. Enjoy your stay!

Thank you - great to hear from another 714ce enthusiast. For me it certainly is a wonderful guitar. And wow! My compliments on your great collection of great guitars. After reading here a bit I already feel better. I was feeling a little indulgent having gone from 0 to 2 nice (to me) Taylors over the past year. :) Taylor makes some stunningly beautiful guitars!

Welcome to the forum Ron. Congrats on your 2 714ce's. I bet they are both awesome. I've settled in to just the GA's too and I agree wholeheartedly that Taylor makes some stunningly beautiful guitars. Re feeling indulgent, you're just getting started, when you look at folks on this forum. It's all good though, you have to embrace life and enjoy.

So true. Funny how a simple guitar can be a part of that. Thanks for the welcome!
