Fresh off the Taylor Road Show in Sacramento
« on: May 11, 2013, 01:48:39 PM »
Hello Taylor folks. Have been an old Martin fan for many years, but have recently been taking notice of Taylors too. Picked up a GS mini recently, which is sweet. Went to a Taylor Road Show a couple of weeks ago and am taking the factory tour later this month. I really enjoyed playing the 8 string Baritone.  Hmmm, I feel like a bigger plunge into Taylor-dom is on the horizon. Hope to pick up some good opinions and tips here and I cruise through the boards.

Thanks...still love my Martins, but am very open to adding some Taylor flavor to my team and have really been enjoying testing out the various models wherever I can.

Hey sonicbaker, - I was at that Taylor Road Show in Sacramento (Elk Grove, actually). Unfortunately I got there late and only saw the last 15 minutes or so. I was looking forward to the show for weeks in advance and then had something come up on the same night that I couldn't get out of.

Welcome and congrats on your new GS Mini. Love mine too. Glad you are interested in Taylor enough to visit the factory. You will really enjoy that. Have fun here on the forum.

The factory tour is impressive.  You may find something special with the guitars on display (and you can play 'em) that would make a nice stable-mate to the Mini.

Welcome aboard!
