Hello Strumming Fool,

Thanks also for the warm welcome to this great forum.Yes as you say,I suppose it is a blend of old & new that I have.I still love my 17 year old GA414 and it's true what's said,they do get better as they age.Pity us humans didn't do likewise  :) I'm sure I'll also enjoy the benefits of my GC12ce 12-Fret DLX opening up through the years,though to be fair,it doesn't sound to bad at the moment  :) Anyway,thanks to all for welcoming me aboard.

Cheers,
Rosewood32

We think alike....I'm a fingerpicker almost exclusively AND I have a 17 year old 414 (2002).  :)

Hello TaylorGirl,

That sounds like a real happy coincidence regarding your 17 year old GA414  :) I bet you also have totally connected with it over the years as I have mine.I've found it to be one of those guitars you find difficult to pass and always feel the need to pick it up and play,even if it's only for a few minutes sometimes..................continue to enjoy  :)

Cheers,

Yes, the 414 has a beautiful aged tone. It is a guitar that will stay with me always. My other guitars have their own purpose and get their share of play, but the 414 is my workhorse for sure.
