710 Ordered
Hello all,
With the help of members' threads and assistance and having talked with TAYLOR and other sources I have ordered my first Taylor. It will be a 710 with "A" grade sitka top and 900 grade rosewood back and sides. Those are about the only custom touches that I felt I needed. I like the 810 sound but I also like the simple and understated elegance of the 710. Everyone I talked with said that with the sitka top it should sound like an 810. I sure hope this is the case. Now the waiting begins. Maybe having to wait will help build character but it sure won't be fun. Here's hoping that the wait will be worth it.

Hello Shane,
I see in your signature that you have a Hofner. Is this the violin shaped bass guitar like McCartney played? I played one that I borrowed from a friend on several gigs back in the late 60's. It sure was sweet.

- its a 12 string... unfortunately i havent been able to find information on the exact model, only models that are close to it. ive seen other 4990's, but this is the only one with the parallelogram inlays (www.angelfire.com/rock3/mystuff41 has pictures of it)
