Picked up my first Taylor!!!
Just a quick note to introduce myself and the to let everyone know of my first Taylor purchase.....
I have a Guitar Center about 5 mins from where I work and I visit the store often during lunch. Last week I picked up a Taylor 310 and immediately fell in love with it. From there I knew I'd much appreciate one. I went home, sold some comic books and picked up a 310CE. To my untrained ear, the 310 and the 310CE sounded similar, maybe the cutaway reduced some volume.... In any case, this guitar rocks and was worth every cent. I always thought acoustics were acoustics, but man, I was dead wrong. It may not be the most boomiest guitar around, but the string tone is amazingly balanced. Chords and notes just sing!! I tried Martins, Guilds, Larrivee, Yamaha, Ovations, and some Tacoma's that were all in a similar price range, but nothing played like the Taylor!! I know I only own a 300 series, but at this time, it was all I could afford!! I really wanted an 810, but that will have to wait for a long long time. Oh yeah, a little about myself. 29 year old UNIX geek. Primarily play electric guitar. Primary style is Jazz, but always up for a hard blues jam. Thanks for reading my post and I'm sure you'll hear from me again! |

Hey there TaylorPoor!
Greetings to another 310 owner! Great to see that you really enjoy your 310 and also got a 310ce to accompany it! I've had mine for almost 11 months now and she's a beauty! I tell ya~ just owning a Taylor for nearly a year has already opened my eyes and ears to how guitar playing should be and it doesn't end there! You will find Sapele a really wonderful alternative sound to mahogany or rosewood Congrats on your two babies and i hope you'll continue to enjoy your geetars in good health!

Hi There,
Congratulations on your new guitar. I wouldn't exactly say you're guitar is a cheap, it just looks simpler. If you close your eyes and play a 310 and a 810, chances are, you would say that the extra $1000 bucks is not worth the difference. Not that 810 is a bad guitar for the money, but Taylor makes high quality guitars, which makes the low-end models still tonally desirable. Save your money, learn other computer languages/ operating system. Buy computer books! |

Oh No! I played a 310, but decided on the 310CE because of the cutaway and electronics. Other than the word "Taylor" on the headstock, I kinda like the unassuming look of the guitar. Never had a guitar with a ebony fretboard. I still can't believe I own a Taylor. BTW, Its stored in a SKB hardshell case. Talking about it makes me want to go home and play it!!!
