Anyone have input on a Taylor 612c

[BMCS]

Just found it online and I'm about to pull the trigger unless someone stops me. This guitar is beautiful, but the only other Taylors I've played were a 414 and a 314ce.

 

Please stop me:confused:

Does it have the expression system or Fishman? Expression, no good

Nevermind somone snagged it for a grand, which seemed like a sweet deal.

 

I am continuing on my search:(

I have a local shop that will do a 414 for 998 and a 314ce for 1298. I'm thinking about heading back there on Monday. The 314 was really nice. It actually was the nicest acoustic I have ever played.

 

I would have walked out with it that day, but I'm always looking for a better deal and I thought the wife would kill me:eek: Then I found out she thought it would be great:(

 

I played mostly classic/folk rock and a little bluegrass. I'm basically looking for an acoustic I can keep forever and not kick myself in the butt later when I find something better. I'm looking in that price range but there is so much to chose from and very little to try out locally so I'm trying to be careful:confused:

Just my opinion, but I don't think the Taylors really start getting great until you hit the 5 series. I'm sure all Taylors are fine guitars, but I think there are better values in the $1500 and under categories. I played a 310, about $1,000 when I bought a Seagull for about $460, and heard little difference. The higher end Taylors and Martins are another story.

That's just my opinion. I'm sure you can't buy a bad taylor.

I have considered Seagulls as well. I do have a dealer close by and I should check them out again. They didn't have many when I was in last time and none of them did it for me:confused:
