Hello from Virginia!

[taylorgtr]

I'm surprised I got this handle (I've been using it for a long time elsewhere, but surprised nobody had it here).

Been playing for 40 years - eventually, I'll get good at it.

First guitar was a "Fame" Japanese OM knock-off with a hideous single-coil pickup and volume / 'tone' knobs drilled through the top. I've got pictures - it wasn't pretty.

2nd guitar - Ventura D-41 copy. Solid top, decent action, got me through several years of learning.

Next - Ovation Legend, which paved the way for my first Taylor - here's that list:


514ce
W-10
Baby-M
356ce

Other guitars:
Fender MIJ Telecaster Custom
Fender MIM Tele Baja
G&L ASAT Bluesboy semi-hollow
Fender Robert Cray Stratocaster
Gibson ES-335
Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins
Godin Multiac Nylon Ambience


I want to get a 'real' nylon string for acoustic performances - looking at the 812ce-N as well as other guitars. Saving up for the K14ce Builder's model. I may sell a couple to get that one.

Welcome, great user name!
You've come to the right place, if you are considering new Taylor's. We are good at helping people spend money.

Welcome to the forum Taylorgtr.  Re your handle: Ya, that is odd that it has not been taken, we do have a few names that start with Taylor, just not like yours.  Good for you.

Welcome the forum!

Nice collection of guitars you've got there! Enjoy your stay....

I guess I should post pics:

Here's (most of) the current line-up:

The Rick Turner nylon string has been sold (I'll post what it funded later down the page).


Electrics - the ES-335 is on the bump list (don't play it as much, don't like it as much as I do the Fenders)

I just picked this up in January.....356ce 12 string


And this is what replaces the Rick Turner RN-6. Should be here early next week.

Nice lineup Taylorgtr.  I see your no newby to Taylor, you have a few good ones.  I to have a 514ce, I have had it the longest of all my Taylors.  Also, your Blackguard is sweet.

The 514ce is my finger style workhorse. Every time I think about upgrading it, all I have to do is play at again and say,
"Nope, you get to stay. "
