Hello from Lafayette, Louisiana
« on: September 09, 2015, 05:34:00 PM »
I'm Sam and I just joined the UTGF.  To be honest, I'm not sure what I am in terms of guitars.  It probably has something to do with the fact that guitar isn't my first instrument.  My voice is my primary instrument, and I play a few other things. Years ago I had a band and traveled leading worship and doing concerts around the nation.  When I decided to pick up the guitar to add an additional piece to the band, I bought an inexpensive Takamine with a pickup.  I told myself that if I stayed with it, I'd buy a pro-level.  During that year, I played several of my friends guitars...Taylor, Martin, Breedlove, Guild, Gibson, Takamine.  When I played a Gibson J200, I knew that was what I wanted to start with.  I've had mine for 19 years.  Love this guitar!  I always wanted a 12-string to go with it.  I played many over the years.  Due to a series of events, I decided it was time.  I 'auditioned' a ton of them.  I settled on my Taylor 655ce.  Man, what a sound!!  Such a great guitar!  The reality is that due to what I'm doing now, I simply don't play my 655 and someone should be enjoying it.  I'm looking to sell that and get a back up 6 string.  So I joined here to see what people had to say about Taylor 6 strings.  There you have it!

Welcome Sam, You've come to the right place. Taylor makes something for nearly every taste, and budget. I'd suggest attending a Taylor Road Show, even if you have to travel a little distance. They are a great guitar education.
