NGD..but it is an acoustic
« on: April 02, 2009, 07:36:29 PM »
I have a new acoustic. A Taylor Big Baby and this was given to me yesterday by some friends. I have been helping them with gigs locally for some time- playing guitar and singing and on occasions, keeping the baying mob entertained on my own. I was with them last night when they gave me a envelope and there was a "thank you" card inside and I said there was no need, I am glad to help my mates.Then they staggered me by fetching out a large box with Taylor written on it and presented me with the  Guitar. One of the guys bought one a while back and each time I have seen him with it I have made out I was going to steal it. They decided to buy me one- very touching and unusually for me, I was speechless. Yeah I know, pictures or it didn't happen etc etc. If you really want a picture of an acoustic guitar then sure I am able to oblige when I get a moment.

The big baby is nice, now. Older Brother got one a while back, and it's a very nicely screwed together piece of kit.

Got a BigBaby too, once you get over those screws in the fretboard, it's amazing bang for the buck.

Now I want a Faith Mercury Parlour!

Thank you all. I first encountered one a few months ago when a friend was buying an acoustic and was trying many out.He was prepared to spend up to £400.00. The Taylor was easily the best of the bunch and I suggested he choose it and he did. The more I played it the more I liked it and they picked up on that when they decided to buy a guitar for me.I should imagine it would be a good recording guitar.The tone is surprisingly full and mine is great to play.

I've been reading up on the Big Baby on the Taylor website - looks good, ebony board is a nice feature, and (as always) the slightly smaller body appeals to me.  That really is a great gift.  :)

But we do need those pics, or sadly it does not exist.  :(
