Title: Hello from Central Connecticut
Post by: Chris in CT on March 05, 2019, 01:18:57 PM

Hello Taylor fans,
When I turned 50 I went looking for that D28 I had always promised myself.  Problem is, I could not find one that I liked to play.  Then I picked up a Taylor 510 and immediately fell in love.  Right now, I have an 813 and I am in love again ( I am 75 now).  I guess that makes me a serial romantic!  I play country, folk, blues, and even some show tunes, fingerpicking and flat picking styles.  The Taylor neck is insanely good for a 5-thumbed individual like me - fastest neck I ever had.  I love the tone palette when using moderate electric amplification,  lots of colors available.  I look forward to exchanging ideas with some of the folks on the site!  Cheers,  Chris

Welcome to our forum Chris!

Did you mean to say that you have an 814?

Hi SF,
Right you are, its an 814 ce.  I guess I'm a bit of a fool myself, I've been telling folks its an 813 for some while now.  Thanks for the correction.  Cheers, Chris

Hi S-F,
I think its about 5 or 6 years old now.  Its aging very nicely, although it sometimes still thinks its a tree...   Chris
