New member here! Thanks for letting me join!
« on: October 12, 2013, 08:42:09 AM »
Hello, I'm super excited to be a part of this forum! I hope I can turn to you guys whenever I need help with my brand new Taylor 320 hog top.

I fell in love with the 320 when I saw one hanging in the corner of a local shop in Tallahassee. I played it and was immediately impressed by its rich tone and big sound. As a previous Martin owner (dx1ae) I really loved the deep bassy sounds of their guitars and never gave the bright Taylor sound a chance. I did, however prefer the playability of the Taylor. So I asked the shop manager what he could do for me and he price matched Guitar Center's price and let me trade in my martin for an upgrade. I walked away with that beauty for about 40% off the retail price.

I'm studying Music Therapy for my Master's and aspire to be a great musician as much as a great therapist. That's my schpeal!

Welcome to Taylor and the forum. You will find Taylor folks to be very friendly and respectful of other high-end brands like Martin. We can share the love. Hope you enjoy your new 320. Would love to see pics.
