In '91 I walked into Elderly Instruments and saw a cool looking little guitar with a florentine cutaway - headstock said Taylor - I'd heard of them before but never played one.
I pulled it down and quickly discovered it had a much wider fingerboard (1 7/8) - this was back when Taylor had an overstock of 12 string necks, I would find out later.
That little guitar and I bonded like peas and carrots and I took it home that day for very little $$$.
It was my one and only for 11 years and that was back when I was performing all the time - we did hundreds of shows together!
When I joined this place, and started reading about all the different builders, I bought a couple guitars that seemed better at the time, and I let my old friend go.
I would definitely like to sit and give it a run again.....I know the guitars I have now are much better, but there is a lot of history there!!
