Hey guys. Hope everyone is well.

Seeing as how I play nothing but acoustic shows nowadays, a couple of years ago I decided to bite the bullet on a Taylor 324CE Builder's Edition. I got it from Sweetwater using 24 months same as cash. This one also gave me the option of getting a Taylor GS Mini for $199, which of course, I did.

I've been gigging the 324 exclusively since July 2022.

And the one I received today. Also from Sweetwater. This one was a Demo (it said it was open box and the pickguard had a scratch, but I don't see it), and was $250 off regular price. This one was 48 month same as cash.

50th Anniversary 314CE Builder's Edition.

I've only gotten to play it for about 10 minutes, but so far I may like it more than the 324, which I already loved.

Recorded a few finger pickin' songs with it this evening.

Two Jason Isbell tunes, and one James Taylor.

This is just plugged in, not miked. Running into an LR Baggs acoustic preamp then into my Presonus StudioLive mixer. Recorded on the mixer's SD card. Then synced with the video recorded on my phone.

The only post processing I did was normalizing the audio.

If We Were Vampires


Cast Iron Skillet


Country Road


Sounds pretty good to me, and plays like a dream.

Will check out the clips later, good song choices. Try Only Children as well if only for the riff. Took me a bit to make my fingers do it naturally.

And welcome back.
