Default The entry level 12 fret wasn't doing it for me .. so I'm upgrading

Last week I bought a used Recording King RP-G6 for $149. It sounded OK in the store but like a boomy plastic (masonite?) shell in a smaller room at home. Today I returned it.

I just struck a deal online for a 2019 Taylor 322e 12 fret - no cutaway with very low mileage. Added bonus is I have full return privileges from a corporate seller.

I've been wanting to get something more than a novelty 12 fret and I think I'm gonna love this one.

Has anyone else gone from any particular entry level guitar to one ~10x the price in a week?

No. To do that took me 17 years LOL- but it was worth the wait......

Congrats on your newer new toy.

While the RK is an OK guitar....you WILL love the 322e 12 fret! It will be like going from a Chevy Vega to a Mercedes Benz.
