Hello. 53 year-old cardiologist here. Trying to regain my adolescent Travis picking chops (it never leaves you, just gets rusty). Just bought a 612e. Beautiful. Going to take it to a reputable Taylor service service center and have the action lowered a bit. Elixir lights don't seem 'light' enough with respect to the low E, A and D. Was going to try lighter gauge with those, but I will discuss with the guys at Brother's Music Shop in Wind Gap, PA. They both used to work at Martin. Possibly shave the bridge down.
