Members theGOOCH Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, not new, but new to me. I bought a Taylor 310-K from our buddy Sweb. Sounds and looks great! If the Taylor haters threadjack this post I swear I'll post a pic of myself playing it with Elixir strings and a Kyser capo while eating a Twinkee....just try me!

Where's knockwood when you need him? *send Twinkies GOOCH's way*Just kidding, I'm sure the koa is something special and Sweb obviously has good taste in guitars. Congratulations!

Members Queequeg Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 Congrats. enjoy your Taylor. I love mine. And I think that Sweb did the right thing, sending it off to you; someone who can appreciate it. But if you post a pic of yourself playing it with Elixir strings and a Kyser capo while eating a Twinkee, whatever you do, don't be wearing that cotton shirt. I heard that's bad. real bad.

So what are your impressions so far? And do post pics. I love Taylors . (I think we gotta stick together here, Gooch ) I love it! I'll give you a more detailed analysis as I play the hell out of it. I've played a lot of guitars at stores and I love the Taylor sound. I don't put down other guitars...I like Martins, Larrivees etc. but decided Taylors were for me. I was going to get more of a beginner's model (110 or 210) because of price and I didn't want to trust just anyone on Ebay for a used 310, but was happy when a forumite had one available. I think the Koa does give it a nicer and more unique sound (and sweet smell).The only problem is I can no longer blame my playing on my cheap guitar. btw: He's been here longer than me, but for what it's worth, If he ever has another guitar for sale here I'll vouch for Sweb anytime.

Members STEELSTRINGS Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 I hope you enjoy your new guitar. I like Taylors, and Elixer strings; it's those Twinkees I can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I like quite a few brands myself (in fact, too many ) . I have a koa Tacoma, and the smell alone is worth the price - guitar wood heaven. The sound is a little different, I enjoy it.I agree, Sweb's a good guy. He made you a very nice offer. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him.

Members theGOOCH Posted August 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks guys....and I probably haven't eaten a Twinkee in about 10 years. I guess I need to make a trip to the grocery for my photo shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theGOOCH Posted August 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2006 I would have to describe the sound of this guitar as very crisp and clean. I don't hear harsh brightness at all. Something else I mentioned before is just the feel of a Taylor. I can't explain why, but it just feels right in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rob Martinez Posted August 19, 2006 Members Share Posted August 19, 2006 Cool! I picked up my Taylor T5 today, and I love it! Smooth action, great sounds, looks great. It is a standard with a spruce top and tobacco burst finish. It is an amazing instrument, I am totally a Taylor man when it comes to guitars! Sorry, do not mean to 'jack your thread, but these are cool guitars!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
