I'm a new member and just thought I'd say hi and give a little info about me.
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and working on them in some form or another for 27 of those. I am a Taylor employee (around 13 years) as the final assembly trainer/inspector and an avid Taylor fan. My main acoustic is a 614ce (year 2000) and have owned a 714ce, 810, 414ce, a BTO (coco back/sides, sinker redwood top, koa binding + all the bells and whistles) and various GS Minis. I build electric guitars sometimes as a hobby(mostly as gifts, but rarely sell them) and do a ton of guitar tech work on the side (used to be paid in beer, but now the work is stacking up and I can't drink THAT much beer).
I'm not here as an official Taylor rep., but as a fan. Hopefully, I can add some light from an insider perspective, yet there will probably be things that I can't chime in on, like unconfirmed rumor mill and upcoming release stuff, but I'll try and post some pics of the guitars I get to work on.
I look forward to discussing and learning with all of you and I hope I can be some help to at least some of you (from the threads I've read, you all are pretty knowledgable already).
