New Taylor owner
« on: December 30, 2013, 03:38:57 PM »
Good afternoon. I live in Daytona Beach FL. I have only been playing about one year.

I own A Voyage Air VAOM4, a Breedlove American Series C25/SSc and just yesterday became the proud owner of a 2003 Taylor 714ce LTD.

Looking forward to learning from the folks out here in Taylorland. I have been told by many that my choice for my first Taylor is a good one.

Thanks for having me join your community.

Welcome to the forum.  Now that is a nice guitar.  a special one for sure.  Does it have the nice back strap, and cocobolo back and sides?

Welcome. You have been told right....that IS a nice Taylor that you started with. Notice I said started.....usually 1 Taylor leads to another and another...... Proof is in the signatures of your fellow forum members. Seriously, you have a wonderful Taylor. Enjoy it and your time here.

Welcome to the forum.  Cocobolo is conspicuously absent from my collection; do you detect some jealosy(not to mention the weather comparison between where you are and where I am)? Enjoy!!!
