Santa came early and delivered this beautiful Taylor E14ce. This is a limited model, originally only available to dealers at Taylor’s Roadshows. The back and sides are West African Ebony, and the top is Sitka Spruce. It's very balanced with great sustain and clarity, and very responsive. The highs just ring, with a pure, fat tone, especially when you dig in. If I had to describe it in one word, I’d say “powerful.” I play acoustic almost exclusively fingerstyle, with bare fingers, and this guitar can get incredibly loud. It really shines when played hard. Love this guitar.

Well, you clearly have your priorities jumbled, Mike😮😉  Skip work and pick up that beautiful guitar!  As others said,  I love the back.  And the sides!   Enjoy that guitar a long time!

Fabulous Mike. What a beautiful addition to your collection. Must have been a very, very good boy last year. You deserve it.

Thanks Wim. I recorded Classical Gas a few years ago on a tele, but never on an acoustic. I'm thinking this would be a great guitar for that song. Just gotta knock off all the rust.

Thanks Greg. I don't know about deserving it, but I'm happy to have it! 😀

New Gear Day arrived this past Sunday.

I pulled the trigger on a new Martin Road Series cutaway dreadnaught.

Sounds great!

Happy New Year’s to everyone.
