I just bought a seven year-old US Ovation S771 in great condition with a new case for $242...
Can you do that with a Taylor? |

Location: big island | he just sliced that ball into the woods and while looking for it he experienced an epiphany and became totally infatuated with trees and things made from them. after taking a leak on one of those trees, he emerged from the woods with a new purpose and an overwhelming desire to leave amelia after feigning his devotion to things "O" and get himself to el cajon, taylor capitol of the world. once there, he immerses himself in the glory of sawed up trees that many others had taken a leak on before him.
the rest is history and well documented above.
good-bye mr. paul moody, p.i. whoever you really were. ("p.i." probably stands for perfect idiot, but nobody's perfect) ;) |

... there are several of us planning an intervention for later on in the week. bobbo, i'll wager you took the photo of paul with the koa taylor. you shoulda intervened and saved his life right then and there instead of supporting his death-wish by photographing it. :rolleyes: |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I have no idea what you're talking about here. I just came back from a visit to the Grand Rapids Guitar Center yesterday, where I played EVERY guitar in their "high end" acoustic section.(even the ones in their glass case) I couldn't find one Taylor, Martin, or Gibson that even remotely came close to the sound quality and playability of my Adamas and Ovation guitars! The taylors ALL sounded "tinny" to me, including the 314ce. You MAY want to try a good audiologist.
But Hey! ... I think everyone should be able to have as many GOOD guitars as he/she/(or confused) can afford. The only thing is, I think I've played everything I could possibly get my hands on (haven't tried a McPherson yet), and in MY opinion, there isn't anything that comes close in value and quality as a USA Made Ovation or Adamas. PERIOD.
Good luck in the world of trend. |

Is cheese better than chalk?
They are different, as our ears are, get over it!
Sometimes my Taylor sounds 'better', sometimes my Ovations do. It depends on many factors including mood I'm in, piece I'm playing, way I'm playing the piece, room temperature, whether I'm wearing green socks, the time of year, hair length, to name a few. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I can understand the wood-box appeal, though I'd never trade an Adamas slothead for a Taylor...and neither would Moody. Note his rave about the ES in his post...I don't even know many Taylor fans who actually like the expression system electronics. Personally, I think they suck big time. I had a 414 limited with a Fishman Prefix that was awesome, and way better than the ES. For Paul to espouse the glory of it...good joke, and nothing more.
I will say, that of some of the finest sounding acoustic guitars I've either owned or played (1680 Adamas, CA Legacy Performer, Larrivee LV-09, Martin 000-28) that by far the Larrivee was the bomb in terms of sound, playability, and looks. Fantastic instrument, and definitely a cut above most Taylors, and most of anything period.
I'm sure all will be revealed in due time... |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | It's all part of a 'programming the geeks' experiment masterminded by Witko. Moody just wanted to do something special with his 10,000th and is seeing how long we (and he) can last before we lose interest.....(and he feels irresistably compelled to post)
....unless he comes back as ' San Diego Eye\' or shares Caravan Rube... with Dave. |

Location: Jet City | THis thread now has me questioning everything. I think i've made some poor choices.
To start, I think I'll trade in my UKII for a Strat. I probably won't be able to do it straight across as Strats are MUCH BETTER instruments. I'll probably just do a straight up trade for a Squire. I may have to cough up an extra $100 or so though.
Wish me luck. |

Wish me luck. We have a Squire laying around here somewhere... for you it'll only be an extra $50. |
