...waiting for daughter to get done with some shopping, had time to kill, got groomed and still had time so, off to the local guitar emporium. It is a running joke with the owner and I as to where the lefty department was moved to. There isn't one. Very few lefties exist. In the universe.

So, in any event, he says "Well, I do have a lefty Taylor..." My heart stopped.

There it was, a pair of matched ash Taylor's, a righty and a...yes, by gawd, left hander, didn't get the model.

For any of you who may be heathens and not know what a Taylor is, whatever your hobby is, this is one of the best. Played it for about 5 minutes and made them take it away. My gawd. I'd never played one before and the fret board was just heaven, big, fat, wide, fairly flat, perfect, and it sounded of angels. Gave me goosebumps.

Wow.

Quoted so you are stuck with having made a joke so lame that not even I would claim it. :lol:

Why, whatever do you mean Wyatt?

Didn't guitar emporium used to be Veneman's? I probably have that spelled wrong, but they used to be in Beltway mall; which was right across the street from where I grew up. I was really mad when they moved to Rockville.

What model Taylor was it? Not that it really matters; they all play so well. Best investment I ever made.

Kinda.


There is a woman up here I have not met but, she is a lefty and she goes through guitars like underwear! :lol: Buys 'em and gets bored so, I get them. She had Taylor make her this thing, she was in touch with the production manager every step of the way and the guy was blowing smoke to her. It showed up, great guitar...a righty. Yup, they ####ed up!

So, she's pissed, the store owner tells her to call Taylor because she will have real pull and, within an hour, Bob Taylor had e mailed her and promised to make it right. He got a new guy on the job and he called her every day and in six days, SIX days, she had her new axe! So, she talks her hubby into buying them both as a matched pair. Exquisite. Gorgeous.

Seems they are having money troubles and had to get rid of them.

So, two ONE of Taylors, both signed by Bob.
