NGD Taylor GT811e (+3 more)

[SUPERTOMMO]

I'm a sucker for small guitar so I've been waiting for this beauty to arrive at my local dealer for a long while. I cannot attest to the sound quality nor can I say that it is worth the money spent. I just know that I like how it sounds and if a person likes how a guitar looks, how it sings to his/her own ears and can afford it, there is not much one should have to pay attention to what other people say.

Here is my new Taylor GT 811e. To be honest, I have only been investing in all these guitars starting around February this year with the BE 324ce, followed by the Lakewood then I got a Gibson J-15 but soon traded it for the LG-2 American Eagle. So I guess this is more like 4 NGsD.

I should now really learn how to play.

That is one good looking family of guitars there. The only thing you should do is play as much as you enjoy, and enjoy having such a great group of guitars to choose from. If you had to audition with skill to qualify for a good guitar, many of us would have to change hobby’s. I know my playing improved after I had instruments that motivated me to want to play more by rewarding my efforts with wonderful sounds.

Beautiful guitar! I've always had a soft spot for small rosewood guitars. Rosewood really shines with a small body IMO. Remember that those guitars were made to be played. I hope you enjoy playing as much if not more than the acquisition.  God bless!

Congratulations. I think you’re going to absolutely love that little guitar. I had a chance to play an 811 and an urban ash two days ago, and I really loved them both.

Awesome new Taylor and stable of guitars! The 811e is a real beauty, with its woods and appointments. You are right, all that matters is you and your choices. Enjoy your yourself.

That 811 is a real looker! Love the size, shape, and appointments all tied into one. Congrats!

i made a lot of progress in my guitar journey using tony polecastro’s course - tony’s acoustic challenge. he’s super organized and he makes learning fun!

I actually saw many of your comments on the previous GT posts, seemed some people were really adamant that the GT was not worthy without actually playing one. Thanks for the tip on Tony's videos, I was actually considering joining Paul Davids'. I have more choices now.

Great collection.

I totally agreed with both of you. The 800 really strikes the balance in terms of appointments for me.

 I also did try them and like them both. I went with the 811 just because I want some Rosewood in the house, never had one.

Thanks, I agree with you on Rosewood with small body. I think it projects sound very well. And yes I am enjoying very much. (Though, I can't seem to stop looking for new guitars.)

Thanks so much for your kind words. I am definitely taking your advice.

I've played a GT811e at my local shop on 2-3 occasions...and I am in love with it's comfortable feel, how good the neck is...and how "jewel-like" it looks with all the 800-series adornments. The fact that I keep coming back for more is proof that I'm trying to convince myself to pull the trigger...and I certainly might soon. The price tag kind of stands in my way, but it's a very nice little guitar.
