NGD/NLD

Taking pictures of the new guitar with my brand spanking new 85mm F/1.8... Awesome.





Just like for guitar, I compensate a complete lack of talent by having loads of gear. Suits me fine!
That, of course, is a Taylor 210E.

Double nice score!

Is that laminate Rosewood back/sides? Nice deep bass? Should be an excellent playing and sounding acoustic!

Is the 85mm a Canon? If so, it's one of my favorite lenses. Everything looks great with it.

Yep, laminates except for the top. Plays ok, but with stiff action: since there's an under-saddle pickup, the saddle sits higher but isn't shortened. I may file it down a bit.
And nope, I shoot Nikon, this is the f/1.8G, which I use on my D7100 (cropped sensor).

Cool. The under appreciated aspect of laminate is that it's much more stable and resistant to temp/humidity changes. Taylor has pretty much nailed the process too, their laminates sound great (if you are after the Taylor tone).

Enjoy your new gear.

Yep, really pretty sound, complements my GA3 perfectly!
