Enjoy this, and tap your foot!
Wish I had the patience and talent to learn it.

Oh, the horror! Taylor has a new slope shoulder dred J-45ish model out that I am hearing good things about. I am sure you would hate it but I just may buy one. |

No. I don't hate Taylors. A 714 was my main machine from 1996 to 2002. I also had a cedar topped 714c that got traded to Mr Hammond in the early oughts. They're well made. Their electronics work very well. I like the look. They do a wonderful burst; better than Gibson. I really want to try one of the new sloped dreads.
But it's the necks that give me problems. And that's related to arthritis in my thumb joint. Their long scale (higher tension) and thin wide necks hurt my left hand. Otherwise I'd probably still be wearing Taylorwear. I think the 710 model with rosewood warmth and dread body is a great sounding instrument. I expect I'll like the new sloped dread.
Now that I no longer drink the koolade, I chuckle at the cult-like devotion they try to create in their fans. Plus they seem to hold particular strength in certain circles; chicks with Taylors, and church worship leaders, to name a couple. Sometimes I have to chuckle.
But they are well made and the most consistent brand on the market. And you've gotta love Bob Taylor's devotion to such issues like saving ebony trees.
(And I love their little dome top wood colored electronics buttons. Really nicely done.)

I have a Taylor 555 12 string and had a 712 which was stolen by some bottom feeding scum sucker about 10 years ago. I still look at ads to see if it might turn up but, as the policemen told me, I know I will never see it again. |

I had bought it from the Podium. You returned it there. Get the cobwebs outta your head.  |

This was a transaction that Jeff McManus and I are still trying to figure out -- all I know is that I walked out of Podium that day with the Goodall Rosewood Standard that Jeff had bought in Lakeland, Fla. There were three or four instruments involved in making the deal, and I think Jeff Molde was ready to toss us outta there. |

Oh, the horror! Taylor has a new slope shoulder dred J-45ish model out that I am hearing good things about. I am sure you would hate it but I just may buy one. He he. - I should add I have a Taylor GS mini. It's my travel guitar. But it's pretty nice to have around in it's own right. I pulled it out because the Sunday's trip to OTSF will require my guitar to sit in a cold-cold car for 2 or 3 hours before I go to my class. And I don't want to do that for a front line instrument. - The GS Mini is fun and I like playing it a lot. It fits this week's song quite nicely.  |

I had one but gave it to my great-niece because she wants to play and it was perfect for her. She loves it. I may get another at some point. They are very cool guitars. |
