HA! They DO seem like guitars for Canadians now that i think about it. Polite.

You have to take Taylors on their own terms. It’s not going to sound like Neil Young or Nick Drake - it will more likely sound like a goddamn grand piano with the sustain pedal down. It fits in a whole band recording beautifully.

I guess all Nina Nastasia’s records are her Taylor, right?

who am I to judge, one of my favorite acoustic sounds are those little Silvertones with cowboy boots and cactus printed on the top and we have a 68 Martin that I NEVER play. I had a Kawai Archtop Electric with F holes that I used as my main acoustic for years before it it fell off the wall and fell into a thousand pieces. Tayler is probably just too nice for my ears.

hahaha - I've been here 10 years, I'm part of the problem now. A lot of Taylors are like the PRS of the acoustic world, built super well but I didn't think they were for any kind of music I wanted to make. I've since been converted by the necks and it's hard for me to go back - there's a lot of different models and I realized I didn't try the 'right' Taylors for me. Some stuff this year I'm pretty excited about though

There are the people in this world that play Taylors, the people who play Martins, and then there's the rest of us just schlubbing around, walking into walls.

Always trying to cop that SKWM slow jam, low gain OD thing minus - The Bean, The Ampeg, The Volume

In comes the V1 Barbershop clone @ 18v.

Review = Excellent

Not bang on but satisfying...

I feel like Taylor people have lots of different lotions and skin creams, maybe more than one cologne or perfume. Martin people own a lot of wool and likely some corduroy. They can tell you the name of a favorite used book store without hesitation.
