I've been comparing guitars this week, and I've been really taken by the acoustic series GA and GC guitars. I love the high level of appointments, along with the simplicity of them - actually I don't really have a need for electrics or cutaway and I think the clean look of them is very appealing. In particular the GC shape has most of the size benefits of my GS mini, and yet the fullness of sound and feel of a much higher end guitar. So although I had no plans to buy one, when I saw a second hand GC3 in mint condition for sale locally at a price that was too good a price to pass up, the inevitable happened...
The guitar sounds wonderful, is gorgeous and quite spotless. I can't get my own pics onto my computer right now, but this is the guitar in question. Actually the wood is much prettier than it looks here with a shimmery cross grain, and that white streak beneath the bridge isn't actually visible, must've been the light catching it in an odd way!

Congrats, Andy. I have an opportunity to play my niece's GC3 every now and then, and I love it. Great little guitar.
-
Beautiful, congrats on your new axe!!! I too love the GC size.

Congratulations! I bought a GC3 just a few weeks ago, and I'm as delighted as you seem to be. And like you, I had no plans to buy one before I picked it up. Once I did, it was one of the quickest decisions I've made in terms of buying guitars. I do believe the GC3 is one of the best deals that Taylor offers. The good ones really sing.

Very pretty! :) Congratulations and enjoy! :D

Congrats. They are great guitars.
I was already familiar with the GC and X12 models, but when I casually played a 312ce in the store I was blown away.
It followed me home.
I just love it in DADGAD tuning.

Gotta love those unexpected NGD's ;D
Congrats!!! Looks beautiful...and I bet it sounds even better!

Thanks everyone. I'm really delighted with the guitar. The solid woods resonate beautifully, with a warm sustain that goes on and on and some really subtle harmonics. This GC size is just right for me... having the increased nut spacing is great too. Still slightly stunned at suddenly getting this, earlier in the week my only idea was to try and get hold of a GSmini mahogany to go with my spruce!

I will bet it sounds as good as it looks. Congrats. ;D
