I'm from Israel and I own a beautiful Ted Thompson t-1 deluxe. However, it has no cutway or electronics, and the neck is not ideal for me, so I've been looking for a while for a new acoustic guitar.

I just bought a new 814ce, not here yet, I bought it from ebay and shipped it to a friend who lives in Connecticut, I'll have it here on June. Anyway, I'm really excited, as I've tried one here on a local shop and it's really nice and comfortable, and mine will have the new es system from 2010!

I'll let you know when I get it..

Congratulations on the 814ce which I'm told it Taylor's most popular model. Now, what are your plans for that Thompson?

Right now I'm thinking of keeping it, it is truly an amazing instrument. If I ever in need of cash, I might think of selling it.

I think what I like most about the taylor is the fact that the neck is well radiused ("15) and feels more like an electric guitar neck. If I had the thousands of dollards to buy an R taylor I'd go with a style 2 and a slim carve neck, but I figured for now I'll do with the regular taylor neck which is also very comfortable. I'm basically a jazz guitarist and really like a neck made for fast playing.
