Does this take you over the tipping point... to changing your name to "taylorgitdave"?
.... seriously... I love those big GO shaped bodies! I am looking at a 518e and was wondering if it lives up to the hype. Taylor advertises the x18 series to be easy to get a lot of volume from it with a light touch (even fingerstyle), because of the bracing. I would be curious to know if you find that to be true with your 818e.
Congratulations!
