Hi From An Arkie
« on: February 28, 2014, 02:41:29 PM »
Greetings,
I just received my new 812CE FE last night. After ignoring Taylor for all these years, I finally bought one and absolutely love it. It has a fair bit of bear claw on the top and the silking is incredible (at least to me).

When I pulled the case out of the box I couldn't believe how small it is. It feels just like an electric.

Anyway, I have played off and on the past few decades with most of that (nearly all) on electrics.

I just (semi) retired.

I hope I can add some value to this forum.

Thanks,

TW
