Salutations from Western PA

[Strumming Fool]

Sandamiano- I just locked down a pretty well worn 415ce yesterday! It's gonna take some TLC to get it up and running full strength, but I couldn't be more excited to finally get my hands on it!

Great news, Steve! Please share pics when it arrives.

 tenoratlarge...sounds like a worthwhile project. Good luck and have fun.

For you Jumboholoics -- right now I'm looking at you Steve ("tenoratlarge") and "Sandamiano" -- here's something that just popped up on eBay, and may make you salivate...

I love spending other people's money...

Welcome Steve!
Live in eastern PA...Sinking Spring. Happy you decided to join us!

timfitz63- darn... that's sexy... I get the feeling I'm gonna be eating a lot of ramen with enablers like this around, ha!

Yeah, I thought it was kind-of intriguing.  I've only played on all-Walnut Taylor -- a Grand Auditorium 6-string -- and liked it.  An all-Walnut Jumbo 12-string is kind-of unusual...  I  think his asking price is too high, though...

An all-Walnut Jumbo 12-string is kind-of unusual... 

All-walnut jumbo 12-strings used to be a regular model in the Taylor offering (circa 1998-2001?). The model number was W-65. I used to own one....

Oh, OK.  Well, a bit before my time as a Taylor owner, so good information!  Thanks for the clarification!

Just thought I'd share, because there's probably a nice used one out there with your name on it! They really had nice specs - abalone top purfling and rosette, the original 900 series fretboard inlay, ivoroid binding, etc, etc, etc....

I'll have to keep an eye (and ear) out for a W65...!  Not a big fan of the big-bodied guitars, but a 12-string version certainly might make it more appealing to me...

Yet another Jumbo for Steve, et. al. to consider:  a 2005 K15.  It's a little rough (and over-priced for the condition, in my opinion); but when's the last time anyone saw a K15...?
