It's a Taylor 410CE (dreadnaught with a cutaway and a pickup.)
I got it in 1998 I think for a gig I used to have where I just played a sang for 3 sets a night, 4 nights a week. I did that on that guitar for over a year (a year and a half I think.)
What's cool is, with all that use it really settled in and now sounds just amazing. It's really mellow but just warm and squishy. I love it.
For me, Taylor guitars have the perfect neck and sound. Martins sound great, but I don't like the neck shape (usually.)

Price range is about $12,000 + , so I think my next acoustic is some way offThose are really nice looking guitars LP. What is the price range? BTW, is that Ritchie or Burton Cummings in the photo's. ;D

I've got 3 dreads. I've been working on SWMBO to let me get a smaller one. I've been looking at the 000 size just because I've always been a Martin fan. I spotted that Robert Johnson L-1 a couple of weeks ago and thought that it looks like a really nice axe. If you get it, be sure and do a blog post on it with video and a review.One of these days I'd love to pick up something a little smaller, like a parlor guitar (maybe the Gibson reissue of Robert Johnson's L-1

Love that thought...
Was looking at a 312 , care to tell how you find it for acoustic bluesLove Taylors. Thanks for jumping in Griff. Used to have a 512 which I LOVED but sold for some dumb reason. Was looking for another acoustic and wondered about yours. Ended up with a 312ce which is amazing. Can't wait till it's broken in.
All things being equal? Yes. Unfortunately all things are not equal. There is the type of wood. Just the ageing wood quality even before construction might make the smaller guitar a better sounding guitar. And then you have the interior bracing. And the neck. I would suggest that you get another Seagull of the dimensions and similar price point you want to compare and listen for yourself.i recently bought a Seagull Artist Mosiac, as is was a 1/3 of the price of martin 00018, Taylor 512ec
solid mahagony back and sides,cedar top
size difference Seagull is 1/2" wider between back to front thickness, 1" wider body
my main question, would this slight difference really make an impact?

Well gosh, I though you were talking about tone and overall sound. Obviously the physical size of the instrument will make a difference in comfort level. And only you can make that determination for yourself. Or are you talking about the comfort level of your overall investment? Again, only you can make that determination for yourself. Or is it something else you are referring to when you say "comfort level"?if it was that easy
i live in the caribbean, so i have to buy, ship and only then would i know what i bought.
i was more refering to the comfort level
