I had the privilege of visiting a local guitar shop yesterday, dragging my 87 year old mom along in the process, and played a wonderful Taylor 812ce DLX 12 Fret.
Other than the 100 series, I have not looked seriously at a Taylor in quite some time. I have been really happy in the Collings camp but, for some variety, picked up the Taylor and wow...just a great guitar.
Not sure if I played one that was uniquely special or not. But, the one I played yesterday has me winking and nodding at Taylor. Nice low end, just the right amount of overtones and took a pick with ease. Oh, and I prefer 1 11/16" nut width as a general rule, but the neck on this 12 fretter was a breeze to play.
If you get a chance, play one and let us know what you think! Or, if you own one, how do you like it?
Enjoy your Sunday AGF!
