 I'm still Crazy after all these years, I can't seem to shake the love for the Taylor
 Their playable !
 They sound so clean
 There look is all Taylor
 Quality abounds

 I have a few Martins and there fine I have a hard time getting one that play so good even after set up.
 I just tradded a beautiful D-28 Vintage custom for a GS Cocobolo, soon as I recieved the GS and strummed it, It was Like
 Yea Thats the ticket ! Ita a 2008 Fall Ltd, with the Adi bracing, man It sounds so good.  I've had about 6 of these Coco's and I think I've fell into a good one. Pics to follow.

 The second is my 1st GA all Koa in many many years, My 1st was a 98 . They have made many improvement to the GA all koa
and the 2011 Fall Ltd with CV bracing is a total suprize to me. Finely an all Koa with substance.

 I couldn't pass it up price was right and it looked like a winner.
 Very happy with these two, and don't ever need any others to fill a gap.

  Here's a few pics , Enjoy ** 2011 Fall GA-Koa Ltd.





  And the 2008 Fall GS LTD. Cocobolo (nick name "flamming Arrow" )

oh wow! I said it before and I will say it again. Taylor makes some of the nicest looking guitars that I ever seen. Then add in the great Taylor sound and it's a Grand Slam. Congrats on those fine looking guitars.
