Thought I'd try once more here. My previous attempts from my Ipad were cut from a couple paragraphs down to a few characters . .. . or maybe the site just cut out the low quality content automatically
. Thanks all and I'm looking forward to using this forum for great info.
I began playing way back in high school, and after several guitars bought the nicest one my limited college budget would allow in 1974 - a Giannini. It has a nice tone and was made of cedar and Brazilian redwood - and I enjoyed playing it for 45ish years. But many years ago I picked up a Taylor that played and sounded wonderful. I'd wanted a nicer guitar for many years and finally decided last year to go for it, and after research/playing I was thrilled to purchase a new 714ce. Then about a month ago I saw a video from Alamo Music comparing a new 714ce to a 20 year old 714ce. It sparked my interest and I called them when they opened the next morning and the 20 year old 714 had not sold. So after a quick conference with my lovely wife I called them back and snagged the 2002 model. It's really great having the two models to play. The 714ce really appeals to me for it's quality and its decorative simplicity.
I'll try to past a link to the video here:
