So many Desicions!

Unread post by Beauford33 » Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:51 pm

Hey, right now I am in a pretty heated debate with myself. First of all, my main axe is a Chet Atkins SST and other then that, I have really no other good guitars. I am thinking about getting a 914ce since I dont have a acoustic. I have been thinking for quit some time now and I think I kinda wnat a Jerry Jones Baritone. Does anyone here know about these guitars and how they perform. I persobnally love the look of this guitar. BTW, money isnt a problem, I got enough :P

914!!!!!!!

however, you might consider a custom 814 with an engleman top. it'd probably save you a chunk of change, unless you really want all the abalone on the 914. they are damn beautiful though.

First of all, :cry: Since that is out of the way (and you have made my poor self feel even poorer), don't just go for the most expensive. I haven't played a 900 series from Taylor, but I have played just about every other series (thanx to Guitar Center). I played a 600 series Jumbo with Flamed Maple, and that was such a great guitar. The 800s will blow your mind, full bodied or with a cut-away. Dave does use a 714 as well, and it has to be for a good reason. Also, maybe this is just because it is my favorite, a w65 12 string. Seriously...a beast of a 12 string...I want one so much. Hopefully I helped. Now I am gonna go cry some more :cry:

peace
I love you oh so well, like a kid loves candy and fresh snow.

well, I am getting the 914 because I am in love with that guitar. I am about sure I will get the 914. I thought about the W65 for a while, but I really dont play 12 string songs a lot. I am thinking about getting a decent cheapy once I recover from this next buy. I have played the 814 and all I can say is WOW. That is a amazing guitar. Actually, I am trying to get all my guitar stuff out of the way for a few years so I can start spending on drums. Its really hard to buy both stuff at the same time. I am planning on getting the 914 then I need a 12 then I need a electric. Thatll take me a at least 3 years to get. I am going to be dirt poor in colledge :wink:

It is kinda funny to me that you can say it will take you at least 3 years. I saved up for about a year, and all that I could afford was a $250 Ibanez that I promptly returned for a $140 Washburn. I say all of this in the light of the fact that I have an unnecessarily large wardrobe that consist of about $1600 in hockey jerseys...o well. If I got the w65, I duno that I could play it. I would just marvel at it. Good luck with all of your spending, and if you get the chance...send some of that $ to me (jk, unless you want to :lol: ).

:shock: And what is it that you do where you get $4k-$5k for the summer? I am 19 and at best made $2k one summer. Most of the money that I got from that quickly was spent on college. Geez. I am sitting on ~$275 in my bank account, and people think that I am rich bc I have that much...Besides, I couldn't buy a 914ce or a w65. It would be pointless to get something just to look at it :wink: If I ever touched one, I am sure it would turn to dust...

well, year round I work at Players Bench(hockey) and then I have a Lawn mowing business during the summer. I get a lot of business during then. so yeah, I get money all by my lonesome self, my mom only gets me stuff I refuse to get with my own money(clothes and CD) but truth is, I dont get that many clothes anyway. I am very lucky I guess

Yeah, I guess that you are kinda lucky in that sense. My mother keeps getting me stuff and giving me money, but heck, if I can get a grant or two, I am going to Egypt for spring break...better than any guitar I think (well DM3MD, w65 and 914 excluded). Good luck with your hard work, and enjoy the guitar(s).
