Greetings forum members! In 2005 I had no plans to buy a Taylor back when I set out for Guitar Center in search of a 6-string acoustic. At the time my only acoustic was my 12-string Ovation Custom Balladeer, and I played a Strat in the band. After looking at a couple of Ibanez's, Gibsons, and Martins, the GC guitar clerk invited me to try this Taylor 414. Strange looking wood I thought! I tuned it up, played a little, and I wound up walking out of the store with it. Eight years later I'm still on my honeymoon with that ax! I joined this forum because it's to easy to see that the members REALLY LIKE THEIR TAYLORS, and I see a nylon string Taylor in my future. I'm re-acquiring my right-hand technique and I want to play classical pieces like I did in my college years. I'm currently playing the Giuliani exercises and a few pieces on my Taylor steel-string, but it's pretty hard on my left-hand fingertips.
