Well , I guess you never know …. I just sold what I thought 8 years ago was my forever guitar, my very first Taylor , my very first really nice guitar. I know my 816ce has found a good home. It gave me years of joy and helped tremendously in honing my guitar skills, to the point where I was finally comfortable playing in front of actual people … and they even clapped ... who knew? That beautiful, sweet sounding guitar served its purpose and then some. But since that purchase I have be very blessed to have the opportunity to now own a handful of Taylor’s and the purchase of my 814 Cedar V-Class sealed the fate of my beloved 816. I got to the point of feeling obligated to play the 816 when I would have preferred to play the 814 or one of the others.
But I know that the 816 will be making beautiful music for years to come… so, I am all good … happy playing everyone!
