Congrats! I played a Taylor Builders about 5 years ago and I’ve never looked back. By far my favorite acoustic and I’m a devoted Taylor player for life now. A lot of people have told me they thought Taylors sound a little thin but, to my questionable hearing, they’re the only guitars that cover the spectrum for me, very balanced. Like I said, questionable ears, but every time I see my Taylor hanging in the wall or pick it up and strum a chord, I’m just beaming. Enjoy!
Wow, doesn’t seem cheap.
I have treated myself with a 214ce.
I love the playability. And yes, it kind of lacks of bass, I feel, but maybe it’s my ear that is really used to synths now ^^
Lots of pleasure to play with this one, I’m starting to have hard fingertips again 
Elliott Smith in the head, these days ^^
I only ended up with one because I took a part time position in a guitar shop to make ends meet a few years back. I played a Taylor for the first time and I ended up trading a bunch of my guitars and taking advantage of the employee discount for it. Once in a lifetime opportunity to own an instrument of that caliber, which had always been out of reach for me, and it remains my favorite guitar/instrument I’ve ever owned. I hope it brings you joy and callouses!
So based on my interpretation of Soma product philosophy this will produce different cascading levels of feedback and phase cancelling modulated by an lfo and then being fed to an overdriven tube spring reverb, regardless of what you do with the guitar, including plugging one in? 
A friend is getting out of the guitar hobby (never really clicked for him) and gifted me this Epiphone Genesis, 2013. It’s an interesting instrument! Needed some adjustments on the action but otherwise sounds alright, its got coil taps.
(I’m going to clean it up, give it some love, and then either sell it or give him some cash )
Nice one! That reminds me of my Yamaha SG.
I have to say that I’m really impressed with Epiphone at the moment. That Crestwood Custom I got recently is a gem. I spent a bit of money to get it fixed up a bit by my local guitar tech, but it was well worth it. The nut was not the proper height and the slots needed to be filed. I always get locking tuners on my guitars as I hate changing strings and I had him upgrade the switch and jack while it was there, as I don’t want to go back to the tech for a long time. Anyway, after putting some flatwounds on it’s such a vibey guitar.
The thing that surprises me most about it is how good the pots and pickups are. On most of my guitars I just leave the tone all the way up, but it’s incredibly interactive on the Crestwood. There are all kinds of great tones to be had along the taper. Maybe that is just a mini humbucker thing or maybe I got blessed with really good pots. I’ve never had mini humbuckers before.
I’ve been playing the hell out of this tune and it sounds like it came off the record. The guitar has serious 50s vibes and nice twang. Works well as a Gretsch stand in, and I love how small and light it is.
I hope you have as good of an experience. My Yamaha SG is an absolute workhorse, so if it’s anything like that I think you will be in love.
today i took my korg x911 for a service - gonna pair it with my 1980 ibanez joe pass signature guitar for some jazz synth guitar freakouts once it is back in my hands
Alright, I may need some help here. I was playing with the idea of getting a guitar back in the house for my own fun and low and behold, the music shop had one display that catch my eyes. I did not buy anything yet but I tried to look only for it and nada. This is the first time, I can’t even find a remote information about it besides just one dutch random site selling it : Stage Pro
Salavador Cortez does have a Crossover serie but not with this model and they don’t really use this appelation neither. It looks a lot like a Cordoba Stage guitar (but not the holes on the top left). So I am mostly confused. I still find the guitar gorgeous and I will take the time to try it probably in the coming weeks.
Any luck or idea how to find more information about it?
Patterned like a Godin.
Indeed. Actually, the Cordoba Stage Amber looks like fake twin if not for the top left sound slots. These looks loosely a bit more like a Godin. (I am also a bit confused because usually my google fu is good enough).
