Maybe it was the heavy sighing from me, but the Blonde said, "You can bring more than one, if you want."
Decisions, decisions.
She also said, "Play some of the others before you put them away." When I switched from the X7 to the Taylor 522ce 12-fret (all mahogany), she said, "Oh, that one has a lot of bass!"
Yep.  |
Guitars in pairs are special. You are blessed to have these difficult decisions. That traditional round sound hole on your RS is my preference for no other reason than I am constantly hitting the top with my thumb pick on the offset sound holes.(the reason I got rid of my Adamas) I may have never discovered the Rainsong otherwise. Wonderful fate. 
Great pictures.
