NEW STUFF ROCKS!!! especially lots of new stuff!!! LOL!!!

that's a great guitar man...i have never played a taylor that sounded/or played bad...my personal favorite has come to be the 415ce...i like the jumbo body...it fits me better and is a tad warmer while still keeping the clean sparkle that is the Talyor sound!!!

and their 12-strings....fugheddaboutit!!!!!

that I believe, Mike! yes, you are more of a jumbo type!

and, the 555 is a great 12 string - that model became the basis of the Leo Kottke model, 'cause he liked it so much

Not meaning to hijack, but anyone care to quickly explain the differences between dreadnoughts and jumbos? :wall:

Curly, that d-28 is one heck of a guitar. one of my dream guitars is some "vintage" martin, basically anything pre-1980, prefereably pre1975. Too bad you are keeping that, but i understand why. I played a 1973 D-28 over the summer, and it was one heck of a guitar...

or i can just hold onto my d-15 for another 28 or so years

if you look at a Dreadnought, it has a more soft shouldered shape ... just find a pic of a Martin Dreadnought ... btw, they were named for a type of battleship (right?) because of their large size

a Jumbo might be as large in the lower bout, but has a little smaller top bout, and a more exaggerated waist - more of a figure 8 shape ... to me, the classic Jumbo is a Gibson J-200 - you know, the one that Elvis sometimes played

Re: My name is Curly ....

We had a 710ce come through our shop a while back.. it seemed a little too bright to me.

I've played a 414 and a 514 before though, and loved 'em... the Grand Auditorium body style really seemed to make a difference.

Congrats!
