theantirockstar Here's a pic of my new acoustic. A Taylor 214e. My acoustic collection is growing nicely, and my wife understands she'd rather have me spend money on guitars than hookers and booze ?
theantirockstar Hey Squonk. I got a TW45FLRB (Tanglewood Super Folk all solid) It's might be only 2 guitars, but 2 months ago i had no acoustics ? So it's a good trend so far

guitarboy2828 X-rated Bob wrote cedar top on the Tanglewood? Canadian ceder if I'm not mistaken.. OP, which sound do you perfer, the tanglewood or the taylor? They must be very different sounding instruments, surely?
theantirockstar they are completly different beasts, they Taylor plays beautifully, the neck is silky smooth. It's got the typical bright Taylor Sound, It responds quite nicely to heavy strumming The Tanglewood sounds alot warmer, and to my ear it sounds better for soft strumming and fingerpicking. I like both actually, but right now if i could only keep one, it'd probably be the Tanglewood. It is a solid Canadian cedar for the top of the Tanglewood, and a solid Sitka Spruce for the Taylor
AlanRatcliffe Congrats - a nice guitar indeed. Give the Taylor a year or two and it may well catch up and pass the Tanglewood tonally - spruce always seems to take a bit longer to really settle in than cedar. Cedar on the other hand sounds better (to my ear) than spruce from the get-go, but seems to mature at a slower rate.
