Hey Jerry,
I love the guitar sound and look of what I see on many of your lessons…Townes Van Zandt “waiting around to die”, David Gray “sail away” etal.
May I ask if you could give me the specs on it and perhaps where I could buy one?
I see this gorgeous look and sound that I am not really getting from my 3 that I own.
Jerry says
Hi Neal
I use a few different guitars, but those two were done on the same one.
It’s a Taylor K24ce.
It plays as well as it sounds. A really lovely instrument.

Got it. Thanks!
