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

Just a heads up to Taylor fans ... Sam Ash Direct is closing out their Taylor GA3 and GA4 models for around 50% off of MSRP right now.  With the 20% off coupon (that is readily available) you can get a brand new GA3 that is street priced at well over $1,000 elsewhere, for $839 no tax and free shipping. I think they're moving them out because the new models are called the 314 and 414 instead of the GA3 and GA4 ... I don't believe there is any real difference other than the number.

Hi Jack,

Welcome to the group. I had a GS-mini too, but sold it to finance a Baritone 6. Incidentally, if anyone with a GS-mini who needs the ES-Go pickup I have one for sale. I'd like to get $49 + shipping, which is half what I paid for it ($99).

Hi, all. Just came across this group. I have a 415 Jumbo and a Big Baby. My favorite acoustics. I fingerpick exclusively, which I guess is not common with a jumbo (?) but I like it. I played a used mini at Guitar Center a couple months ago and have been kicking myself for not buying it.

Nice to hear Dean!  I'm luck to have a great Taylor shop here in Huntsville too, and they adjusted the action on my T5 just perfectly... my GS mini suited me as it came from the factory ... Enjoy your GC3

Hold onto him and when you need something bring it back only to him! That's a treasure!

When I picked up my GC3 at the shop, the tech made me play for a few minutes before he would let me walk out with it.  He watched me play to observe my technique (or lack of).  He took it and adjusted the action a bit for ME.  The guy knew his stuff.

Thanks Jud.  I should have thought of going to the Taylor website. Duh!  It seems I'm a bit high (on the action)

Hi Zbignu ... heres what Taylor says ... Taylor Factory Settings

Comment by Zbignu on February 22, 2013 at 11:28am

Hi All,

I know that action height is mostly a matter of personal preference but as a beginner (longtime beginner, heh) I don't believe I have enough experience to know what height best suits me. It feels a bit awkward when I play down by the 12th fret.  I play a 214 that I bought new and haven't changed the factory set-up.  Is there a general rule of thumb as to where the string height should be?
