It has a strong voice, you don't have to play it hard to make it talk. The tear drop pickgaurd would not have been my choice, but will stay for a while.

Hi Happypicker, I'm a 915c owner, I ordered mine in the fall of 2004. got it with a florentine cutaway and no electronics. the 2004 came standard with engelmann tops. The 915 is like thunder, Loud and clear. just one of my favorites.

  Congrats on your 915ce. I don't care what others say about the newer taylor acheving a better bass tone , Nothing has the same vib and the jumbos deep.

Believe it or not . I don't have any photo's I can post of this guitar. Their are some in the AGF photo album, I can transfer as a link  here you go check it  out.
 Enjoy  :)

That is a nice collection of Taylor's. We played at a retirement home last night and there were a few guitar players sitting with the old folks listening to us, they were very impressed with the look and sound this guitar. I was plugged into the                                            P A system and it did sound nice if I do say so myself.

Redwood that is a awesome collection of the 900 series.  Wow!

Here you go Taylorgirl, I took your advice, the 915 with Teardrop pickgaurd gone and a Taylor one in it's place, looks much better. There is a bit of a tan line on it but I can live with it.

Now THAT'S a Taylor! It is such a beautiful guitar and with the right pickguard it just completes it. Don't you think it screams Taylor now? Very nice!

I've had that pickguard in the case with my 510 for years, as I was going to change  it. There are a couple of small air bubbles under the gaurd on on the 510. I had the people at Taylor look at it and was advised to not change it, as it would no longer be original??? Anyway they gave this one to me in case I wanted to change it in the future........ it has a good home now.

This is the amp I use when playing out. It does a good job of reproducing the acoustic sound of the 915ce and my Morgan DR. It is a Traynor AM150 Acoustic master. Every time I take the Taylor out of it's case the Morgan sheds a tear.
