I put my guitar in today to have some work done on it - I'm going to 9 - 42 gauge strings (I'm due to have some carpal tunnel surgery in the near future, so a lighter gauge should be helpful), and I'm getting the frets dressed, setup, etc.

And it really is a journey - sometimes a frustrating one, but still a worthwhile one.

Did you buy it, Smiffy?
Did you get your guitar back, Simon?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I put a deposit on it today. I sold my old Frankenstrat today for $300 and I'm selling an old macbook to pay for the rest. I'm just waiting for the cash.

Nice! Gotta love that Sea Foam green.

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Thanks. It's a beautiful guitar, and it sounds terrific.

Very radical cool color. I went with the traditional two tone brown for my American Standard. My favorite color though is red but I already have a few red guitars (a PRS and a Charvel).

I got this last weekend. I blame you guys and all your recent purchases.

Taylor 414ce

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Sweet! I just got the 314CE. Let's jam!

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Well, I picked up my new strat today. It plays beautifully. Here it is:

And here's the rest of my modest collection:

I can't tell you how much I love the Taylor. It's easy and comfortable to play and sounds beautiful.

Now you're making me want to get an acoustic again. Not that one! But something cheaper.

And I really don't need one right now. I don't think.

Wuss! Buy one. John, Ron, and I will drive out to Kentucky and we'll have a Taylor jam!

I agree. You pick one up and it's very comfortable in your hands and a joy to play.

Ron, where do you live? We need to get a group together to play.

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

I'll have to try one out soon at a Sam Ash. I was actually near one last night on 34St in Manhattan but I had to get into the Hammerstein (conveniently located next door).
I have one of those small Martin guitars which has a nice dark tone but it isn't easy to play.

Man, you've got a lot to learn about couch/guitar photography.

The PRS boys know how to do it right...

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Sweet Alan! Don't worry though, one of these days you'll get over your aversion to PRS guitars. :lol:

That's truly impressive. (bet you don't hear that often).
