Definitely go to a Road Show if you can - I have been to 2 and really enjoyed them, one in Florida and one in Virginia. I learned so much about the woods and sizes of course AFTER I bought my first Taylor. Oh well, since I'm certain there are more in my future it's nice to have the knowledge. I'd like to go to a "find your fit" this year, I like the GC size but keep ending up with the GS.
I noticed too the attitude of treating the customer well is pervasive with Taylor. As we all can attest they have very good customer service and at both Shows the 2 reps (different at each show) there were exceptional, even when a competitor was mentioned they talked about how good the competitor's guitars were too...LOL of course, Taylor is preferable

......
I emailed Taylor after one of the RS to let them know how much I enjoyed it and less than a day later I got an email back thanking me for the input and glad I had a good time. When does that happen anymore?
