12 strings are a beast within themselves. It's just hard to find one that speaks to you (IMO).

Again, I'm sorry.

Of course, you'll have to find a store with 3 identical Taylors to choose from, which may not be so easy... VERY true, I see many times when they don't have duplicates in many models not just the higher end models. That's why I'm willing to drive an hour or so to check it out hands on. I drove to Mass. to get my American Deluxe Strat. It was worth it and I was surprized to see two in the same model. I bought the second.

The Taylor 12 string I played, I would have bought if I had the money, it was that good.

All in all, I believe the guitar picks you and I find that hard to do on-line.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Mike https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/paged/2/#post-114303 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114274 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 22:15:03 +0000
Well I was out of town when FedEx tried to deliver my tickets. So I called FedEx and I was told they would hold my tickets at the local pickup place until I got back from my trip. I was assured several times they wouldn't be sent back to the fan club because the concert was 2 days after I was going to pick them up.

Well go to get my tickets and guess what..... THEY SENT THEM BACK!!! After the lady on the phone assured me several times they would hold them until I picked them up later that week. I couldn't believe it!! I won't ever ship with them again.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Shibby https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114274 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114267 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 20:58:14 +0000
Sorry if I sound harsh but, facts are facts. Based on my experience of one purchase, I would have to disagree. The Takamine 12 I bought for BabyDoc is excellent, and arrived in fine condition. This was found and bought through eBay, and shipped UPS.

However, if you are talking about a higher end guitar (over $1000), where you want to try 3 different guitars of the same model, and you can tell the difference, then yes, you should play it first. Of course, you'll have to find a store with 3 identical Taylors to choose from, which may not be so easy...

Banre, besides the busted neck it looked to be a quality guitar.]]> Guitar Players Discussion redneckrocker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114215 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114212 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 07:55:27 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion BlazedPhool https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114212 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114205 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 07:09:58 +0000
Sorry if I sound harsh but, facts are facts.

I tested a Taylor 12 string ($1700 plus) 2 weeks ago and absoluetly feel in love with it. After trying it, would I buy it on-line, hell no.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Mike https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114205 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fedex-broke-my-guitar/#post-114201 Fri, 29 Jul 2005 06:56:41 +0000 your situation.

I can't remember how Nick sent the "mystery guitar" from Virginia to Texas, but it got there OK....maybe we should ask him for advice?

I know when I got the Epi LP off the baggage carousel at Gatwick, the brand new hard case I bought was totally knackered...it opened up as I picked it up, spilled spare strings, capo, plecs etc everywhere...OK it wasn't locked, but they could've treated it with a little consideration...thankfully, the guitar was OK.....but I'll never be able to use the case again...
