New Taylor Owner and Forum Memeber
« on: January 17, 2014, 02:52:25 PM »
Just got a new 310ce and started playing again after 20 years. I must have looked at every acoustic guitar in the Houston area over the last few months. I have an early 1970's Takamine 132s and used to play nylon strings exclusively.  This is my first steel string guitar.   GC was discounting the 310's fairly substantially, so I went that direction.  It was more to get into the 314. Anyone know why this is the case?  Anyway, looking forward to many years with my new guitar.

maybe the dealer was overstocked on them.... just a thought. the 314's do seem to outsell the 310's.

Nice to have you here, Hal. I am quite new on this forum forum, but (compared to others I know) this is a highly interesting and warm place to be.
