Hello, everyone! I need the assistance of some Taylor specialists.
I received a Sam Ash catalog in the mail and came across a few modestly-priced Taylors. I've always loved playing Taylors (and Martins), but could never justify the price. I'm not a heavy acoustic player, and from what I've seen, the only thing in the $300-$500 range that are worth it to me are Yamahas and Seagulls.
I've played the Mexican-Made Martins that are in this price range and was rather disappointed. I wonder, are the Taylors any better?
A couple models that have intrigued me are the Taylor Baby, Big Baby, and GS Mini. Does anyone here own one? If so, what do you think of it?
Also, does anyone know their country of manufacture? I know, a lot of imports are very high-quality instruments, but I tend to gravitate to all things American-made (cars, guitars, and everything in between).
Thanks in advance, everyone.
