thegreatgumbino Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Happy Thanksgiving, Sal (and everyone else). That was great! I love Lyle Lovett, but don’t recall having heard that one before. Such a great sense of humor. I suppose congratulations is in order for the new Taylor? Is it an AD17? Thoughts? Hope all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfish Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Nice one, is that one of them new fangled braced guitars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Ahh thank you gents… HTG… GG it is and AD17e, and I think it’s fantastic. It’s really playable, as you would expect, visually beautiful, with good electronics. I’ve gigged a half dozen times with it so far, and it is just easy. It is new-fangled V Braced. The one thing you have to get used to… your attack. It’s midrange is strong. Where a Great J45 is perfectly balanced, and a Martin rosewood dread has scooped mids, this AD17 has pronounced mids. For the inquiring, the Taylor 327e is in fact really balanced. I played them both quite a bit before deciding to keep the AD17 and send the 327 back.

kidblast Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 nice choice brutha I have three taylors, they do what taylors do, it is what it is.. for me, that's ok. IMHO.. they do make some dynamite guitars.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Good job Sal - I am a huge Lyle fan and also do this song which always brings a chuckle from the audience. Glad you are enjoying the Taylor I have owned several (although none at the moment) and always thought they were quality guitars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think Taylor has moved on from it's decades old rep of being too brite and twangy. Lots of different choices. Close to a hundred I'd bet, between the models and woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jricc Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That's a nice sounding Taylor Sal. Warm tones, pretty dry, I like it! Fun tune too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I love this song by Lyle and you do a super rendition of it. Your vocals and that “Taylor“ (got to rinse that word out of my mouth out now…lol..) are ideal for this kind of song.. Nothing fancy. Just a man and a guitar telling a story that every guy can identify with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Great song and great performance. A record that really changed my life was LL’s ‘The Road To Ensenada’ back in the ‘90s. He’s a class act. Fellow Sunrise user too! I like the Taylor, sounds just fine to me. I’ve always appreciated them. Fine, well built and very playable guitars. I’ve never owned one as they aren’t quite my thing as a picker, but it’s a pleasure to hear one so well played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thanks forum friends for listening! Obviously the Taylor AD17 is not a J45 Vintage, but I am telling you I love this guitar. It gigs great, is comfortable, and sounds dry and crisp. The low E even has a thump. Not a Gibby, but nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
