Title: NGD! R.Taylor!!
Post by: meanmr.mustard on March 10, 2012, 11:02:06 PM
Hi everyone, I had posted this ~NGD~ on the other forums since I had NO idea this 'Taylor' forum existed.
It's good to know this forum exists, it feels like home!
Well, here you go:

Style 2
Sinker Red Wood top
Macassar Ebony back and sides
Ebony binding/rosette
Laskin Arm Rest
Jescar alloy frets

The guitar sounds amazing, can't stop playing it ( or smelling it ;) )

Thanks Jim!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, those are the bone pins.
I had this guitar custom built to my specs.  It was risky, but it was totally worth it.. I couldn't be happier with my new guitar.

So I gotta ask...where does the name meanmr.mustard come from? :o You certainly seem anything BUT mean! :D And it's nice to have you here. We weren't allowed to promote this forum over on the other forum so please let your friends know where we are. :)

Hee-hee! Don't I feel stupid! ;) Actually I've never heard of the song title...and I just checked out an audio clip of this song, and the music still doesn't ring a bell. :o

Thanks for the clarification. :)

Thats a really nice R. Taylor.  I actually like the r. taylor headstock with open back tuners, thats the first I've seen like that.

Yikes! I feel a case of GAS coming on. Oh no! And you guys know what happens when I get GAS!

That guitar is striking. Classy! And the Sinker/Macassar Ebony combo must sound fantastic!

Enjoy! I'm sure things will only get better as you and that sweet guitar get to know one another.
