The GS series Taylor have some amazing sound. "Piano-like" is what I've heard them described as, and it's true! The first Sunday I led worship, I looked behind myself on one song to see if the bassist was playing, because the bass notes were so awesome sounding. (The bassist wasn't playing, by the way). Better low-end than most Taylors I've played.

The GS series isn't very decorated on purpose--but I like clean guitars.

I've worked with Taylor customer service in the past, and they've always been awesome. Haven't had to contact them for this guitar, though.

I would recommend this guitar, for sure. Fingerstyle, flatpicking--sounds great.
