I've been playing for a while. Mainly play Bluegrass and Country but primarily Bluegrass. For years I've owned only Martin guitars (HD28, D18V, and a D16GT).

Lately however I've played some Taylors that have simply knocked my sox off. So I'm hangin out here trying to get a feel for what the real Taylor Pros like and why they like em. I'm probably going to step outside my comfort zone and own one of these puppies before long.... I know there will be no sacrafice in quality, sound, or playability but I'm just not real comfortable making a choice without some guidance. However I suspect at the end of the day... my hands and ears will be the final judge.  8)

  Hi, wandered on here from that "other forum".   ;)  I own three Taylors, a GA4, an 814ce and a brand new 2011 spring limited macassar ebony.    Been playing for a while, mostly to myself and the dog, who gets up and leaves when I start.
  I missed the old Taylor specific section of the other forum so did an online search for Taylor forum and landed here. Good to see the old bunch still active, and hang out with a bunch of folks that appreciate Taylor guitars.

Well,

I guess first off, thanks to Josh and all of you for this forum. I'm a long time listener, first time caller, so to speak. My name is Mike and I'm a guitar-aholic. I have some pretty decent electrics and now finally have a quality acoustic. My first Taylor was purchased 2 days ago.... a 310ce.  I've been playing guitar since the late 70's and hope to some day be good at it.

I'm sure I'll be learning quite a bit from you all... and for that, in advance... THANKS!

Oh, and maybe I'll eventually do the same for somebody else down the line!

Mike

Hi all,  I pretty much totally re-wrote this post, I thought it was pretty good until I saw it posted lol. Hopefully it will make a bit more sense now. Firstly, I would  like to thank Josh for making this place a reality, what a fabulous resource. I am so happy to be here. The closest I get to playing a Taylor, is hijacking my sons 514ce when he is not using it.....which, understandably, he almost always is, so I am going to relieve my substantial frustration by buying one of my own.

I would love to progress from "noodler", to devoting all of my spare time to learning finger style guitar. I have been lucky enough to have had my sons guitar to help me to make the decision that I am definitely a "Taylor guy" and that I want to be a finger style guitarist, and now, hopefully with your help, I have to find my companion for the journey.

I have seen a mint condition BTO for sale and would like to run it by you, I would love to hear your opinions before I pull the trigger. It plays extremely well, and even with my limited knowledge, I love the tone.
The asking price was recently reduced to £xxxx, xxxx dollars to you guys ;) is this OK?
Also it has no cut away at the dusty end, aestetically I love it, but do you see it as a stumbling block playability wise, down the road at all?
And finally, it has no on board electronics, I would like some, and would love it if you could suggest the best way to go.

These are the specs.

Taylor Custom GC Specification (BTO)

Shape: Grand Concert
Back/Sides: Mahogany
Back Config.: 2 Piece, No Wedge
Top: Western Red Cedar
Fingerboard, Bridge: Ebony
Neck: Mahogany
Peghead Veneer: Ebony
Bracing: Sitka CV Bracing w/ Relief Rout
Binding Material: Tortoiseshell (Faux)
Purfling: Plastic
Rosette: Abalone, Single Ring 600/800 Series
Peghead Logo: Taylor MOP
Neck Width: 1 3/4 Inch
Scale: 24 7/8 Inch
Neck Profile: Standard Carve
Peghead Type: Slotted Peghead
Finish Body: Gloss
Neck Finish: Satin
Tuners: Taylor Slot Head
Nut/Saddle: Tusq
Bridge Pins: Ebony

If you knew that finger style was the way that you wanted to go, and were looking for a lifer, could this be your number 1 contender

Thanks in advance, Dave.
