Anybody ordered a new Taylor (particularly a 12-string) ?? I was wondering what the average amount of wait time might be for delivery. The shop is saying 6-8 weeks. Continue

Comment by Paul Stoddard on December 23, 2011 at 11:50am Thanks for the nice comments guys. Mark, you mentioned 'drooling', I have been lusting after this guitar for 3 years, but I wasted my money on foolish things like foundation repairs on our house, water-proofing our basement, and silly things like that. But now I have my priorities in order again.
Paul,I was drooling over one of those in a store a while back. Gorgeous guitar!!
Congratulations Paul! That's a beautiful guitar!
Comment by Mark Baker on December 22, 2011 at 4:14pm That's gorgeous, Paul! Personally, I've never seen an 800 series in sunburst, but it looks amazing.

Comment by Paul Stoddard on December 22, 2011 at 3:37pm Hey Paul, You wouldn't play the 410 once you got the 814 is an understatement! I have a 814ce Fall 2006 LTD and it is pretty amazing!
Comment by Jud Hair on December 21, 2011 at 2:18pm Mark ... I haven't played either one of them, but just looking at the specs in the review, they appear to be completely different guitars to me. The DDX has a longer scale, deeper body, and narrower nut, on top of laminate construction. Not that any of this should be considered inferior ... it just seems that it would make the DDX play, and perhaps even sound completely different from the Doyle Signature.
Sort of like apples and oranges other than the Taylor name on the headstock.
Comment by Mark Baker on December 21, 2011 at 2:04pm Thanks for the link, Jud - an interesting article that does a good job of outlining the differences. Have you (or has anyone) had an opportunity to play them head-to-head and compare their sound?
