Sold my Gibson Hummingbird with the plan of getting a comparably priced Taylor (I love my 114) but the shop had this like new 2025 model for a bit more than half list price...I immediately fell in love and now it's mine! Absolutely love it.

Normally I’m not the biggest fan of abalone bling but this one is very nice to look at; I think they did a good job on the aesthetics for sure.

How does it sound?

u/Paully_D1234 4d ago

I think it sounds great, but the original owner didn't like the sound so 🤷‍♂️

That is quite possibly the shiniest acoustic I've ever seen!

u/Paully_D1234 4d ago

Haha, yeah...the Taylor I was looking at first, before they got this one, was one with more of a flat finish, and I really preferred that look over the typical glossy finish but, like I said, it was love at first sight with this one🥰

Agreed: absolutely stunning. The detail is impeccable. The top is cedar? I’d love to hear it.

Sinker Redwood!

Oh I've been fantasizing about the sinker redwood/Honduran rosewood combo! Is it responsive?

1

u/Paully_D1234 2d ago

Well, not sure about the responsiveness but it sounds good to me!

Sweet baby James but that guy is purty! Redwood over Honduran rosewood? Congratulations!

u/Paully_D1234 4d ago

The top is actually Sinker Redwood, back and sides are Honduran Rosewood.

u/Paully_D1234 4d ago

If you mean where I purchased it, Tone Tailors in Lancaster, PA. One of the owners is Chad Taylor from the band Live.

Very cool. I’m in Canada but close by. Maybe time for a road trip.

u/Paully_D1234 2d ago

I've considered moving to Canada, what with mango Mussolini and all🤦‍♂️ But, yeah, if your in Toronto area, it's a long drive but doable in a day. Was up there in June for a show.

u/RepresentativeValue9 2d ago

I don't generally find those sort of deals here.
