New Guy from South Carolina
« on: October 11, 2014, 09:44:03 PM »
Hello all,

My name is Chris and I'm from South Carolina. I just bought my first Taylor (314ce) on ebay today. I should have it by the end of the week. I started playing guitar in my teens, but never really got that serious about until I hit my 40's (I'm 46 now).

I play at church, and play solo acoustic at weddings and receptions. I've also recently joined a rock band were I play acoustic and electric guitar (Telecaster) and sing. I'm not really a great player by any means, but I figured since I get paid to play guitar, that makes me a "professional musician" and therefore I should have a professional-quality guitar, right? Besides, I can write it off on my taxes as a business expense. Win-Win!

I'm sure you all know what a 314ce looks like, but I'll probably post some photos of it when I get it anyway.

Just got the confirmation email from UPS that it has been delivered to my house. Now I just have to wait until I get off work in about 10 more hours to check it out!

 Congrats. I like the black pickguard, if I liked pickguards. ;) Enjoy that wonderful guitar.
