Got a new guitar. Yay!

So I went and picked up a Christmas present for myself. I’ve been needing a decent acoustic for a while now and my family kicked a bit of cash for Christmas so I could get a guitar.

I got a Taylor 114CE. I played a crap load of guitars in the past few weeks and this one stood out. Great action, nice neck and great response. It is a boomy little guitar, quite a bit of volume even though the body isn’t all that huge.

The guitar isn’t a top of the line Taylor, but I found it sounded better and played better than most of the more expensive guitars I played. There were two or three that I liked more but they were WAY out of my price range, like 4 or 5 times as expensive. I’m not a good enough acoustic player to go for a $3,500+ model.

I plan on recording something with it tomorrow. I’ll post it as soon as I get it done.

Hooray for you! I love the feeling of buying a new instrument. Can’t wait to hear your playing!

Me too! I’m always a sucker for learning new licks! I found the way to play the intro to Alice’s Restaurant on YouTube!

Have fun with your new “axe”, Slee!

Ah, you got a Grand Auditorium shaped Taylor. I have a Taylor 422R in that size and shape, and it’s my favorite fingerpicking acoustic. Congratulations, and nice choice!

Congratulations. I’m sure the two of you will be very happy together!

Man, that’s a pretty guitar. That might be my new fantasy guitar, for purchase after I get decent on my current one, a Jay Turser parlor acoustic
