Taylor Road Show mega-review (plus AGF Karma Giveaway - Third winner announced!)

[NOTP]

Thanks to everyone who has read the review and entered the giveaway. Only those who explicitly state that they do not wish to enter will be excluded; all others (who live in Canada or USA) who simply reply to the thread (whether or not they explicitly state that they wish to enter) are automatically entered.

Here are some more photos posted by the Long & McQuade store staff on the evening of the event.





Here is a shot of the high end and custom models to the very left of the "stage" which I had said my cellphone photo cut off. I guess I did manage to write about all four of them! Clockwise from top: PS10ce, Builder's Reserve Master Grade Koa 12-string Jumbo, 524ce Long & McQuade special collaboration, and Custom Shop Grand Orchestra with Adirondack spruce top/bracing and Florentine cutaway

NOTP, nice review, now I want to go to one. How does one find out about these Taylor Road Shows? Is there a schedule on the website?

Yes indeed.

Nice review NOTP, your experience was similar to mine earlier this year. Taylor does a great job with these events.

I also would like to be included in the giveaway! Much appreciated.

One semi-innocent bump to the top to remind those who haven't entered the giveaway that you have until 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time tonight to enter! If I am still awake at that time, I will compile the names and draw a winner using a random name picker (http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/) and post the first randomly-picked winning name!

[River Hill]

We have some Road Shows coming to MD soon. I will be sure to check one out now.

You are most generous..."pick me, pick me".

WOW! Guitar wonderland! Have the HV mini and lovin' it. Thanks for the Karma. Count me in!

Now I wish I would have gone to the one in my area when they came through I just couldn't get free the night they were in town. Excellent right up. BTW I received 15% off the 150e so you can definitely get a deal.

15% off a 150e here in Ontario, Canada, would easily eradicate the tax I would have to pay, along with giving me a 2% discount. Unfortunately the store was not willing to budge on the CAD$769 retail price of that guitar, since they said they had literally received that guitar in the store THAT VERY DAY. Oh well.

Going to my second Road Show next month, hope they'll have a 12-fret or two!

Giveaway is closed! Thanks to everyone who has entered!

So the 326ce FLTD was your favorite that you got to play? I must admit, I have been GASing for that guitar in a bad way since it was announced...

44Runner, since the first winner didn't send me a Private Message to claim his prize within his allotted 24 hour time period, you are the next contestant on The Price Is Right! COME ON DOWN!

Send me a Private Message with your name and mailing address and the prize is yours. You have until 12:23pm Eastern Standard Time Friday October 31 to do so. Congrats!
