Default Ngsd!

New Grand Symphony Day!

Last week I ordered this beautiful 816ce from Ted at LA Guitar Sales. At first, he didn't have any in stock and told me it would be a month before any more arrived. Later in the day, he called back to say that his rep located one and was able to get it to my front door in a week. I'm not one to "kiss and tell," but I paid waaaay under MAP for this 816 since Ted, being a sponsor, gave me a great deal.

The GS is everything it is cracked up to be: powerful and articulate, comfortable to play sitting or standing, a great body style between GA and Dread.

Ok, ok. On with the pics (if they're aren't pics, it didn't happen, right?):

Imagine an 814ce with a subwoofer.

Definitely will do. But so far, after a few hours of play, what follows is definitely true:

Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations. Isn't it funny how we all need our "fix" of gorgeous Taylor Art?!
