Hi Darrell, I live in Germany and here Taylors are quite expansive, thanks to tax and distributors.

What´s making a Taylor/Martin/Larrivee/Lakewood/Gibson/Maton/etc. worth the price is that they have no flaws and are designed with the "working" musician in mind. Another point is, that your growing skills will never outmatch these guitars, you can play them for the rest of your life.

Regarding overpriced Taylors: the fullacousticTaylors (DNX, GCX, GAX,GSX) aren´t overpriced, because with them you pay for the sound, the payability, but not for the "bling" and a cutaway you ´ll probably never need. If you´re smart and want a guitar with very sound and playability, get an acoustic Taylor without cutaway and upgrade it with a pickup-system, if/when you need one.

Best wishes, Joe
