Greetings to all of you guitar lovers! I first started playing guitar at 13. I am older now. Several years ago, I bought a GS Mini and loved it. However, my younger daughter also loved it. After several transparent hints that she coveted it, I gave it to her for her 25th birthday. I am thrilled that she shares my enchantment for acoustic guitars, but miss that little guitar. A couple of weeks ago, I received an offer for 48 months of free money for a Taylor guitar. I jumped, took a tour through their lineup, ordered, unseen and unplayed, a 714ce V-Class Western Sunburst. Yeah, I know, how frivolous, how unwise. But, I have played enough Taylors to know that this guitar is gonna rock my little world. Can't wait to get my clumsy mitts on it! I look forward with glee to sharing thoughts, fun, and knowledge with all of you other guitar lovers. To shamelessly and frivolously paraphrase a well known Winston Churchill quote; "There is nothing better for the inside of a person than the outside of a guitar."
