'97 512 CS Florentine cutaway, mahog back and sides, honeyburst spruce top. I have to say, it surprised me with it's tone. I guess a few get out now and then.
Shields up!! Go ahead, fire. :D |

Location: SW Washington | actually that mahogany back reminds me of a Hohner I used to keep in my car for a utility guitar. It really was a sweet playing guitar but I gave it to a friend of mine who was wanting to learn to play. He switched to keyboards...I wonder if he wants to give it back? hmmmmm..... It wasn't a cutaway though and I cannot even fathom going back to a non-cutaway now. |

Both offer good guitars. 'Cept you can get a Great Ovation for less than the price of a Mediocre Taylor. :p |

Location: 6 String Ranch | the real bitch of all of this is that when he sells it he'll get a greater ratio of selling price to original list then he would for any Ovation. That's where the world ain't fair. |
