Good call on a Taylor group. Not sure when I'll ever get another guitar - probably a few years away - but a Taylor is high on the list.
I'm actually quite tempted by their Grand Auditorium models. I reckon a 114 CE could be a perfect guitar for all round acoustic playing. That lovely shimmering Taylor tone for fingerstyle and strumming and that cut-through top end for flat-picking lead.
Looking back on the "lightness of touch" thread it seems that there are few fast flatpickers who rely on the instrument for volume anyway - a small acoustic amp and one would be away. Admittedly there wouldn't be the bottom end form a GA model that one gets from a Dread, so for pure bluegrass work it wouldn't be ideal. For me personally, that's not an issue. I have the old Yamaha dread, and anyway there's not a whole lot of traditional (hard-core) bluegrassers here in middle England. I reckon any guitar well played would be accepted.
Hey ho - maybe one day!
