Hey everyone.  I hope you're all doing great.  Here are a couple of pictures of guitars I'm grateful and proud to own.  Take care, and happy music making!

Knight......love those jumbo's!  It's funny how we can get drawn to a certain body shape.  I've not really played any jumbo's to speak of, more of a dred guy myself, but I bet you would get quite a thump from those honey's!  Which Jumbo do you like/play more?  How do they sound different/similar?  Larri vs Taylor I mean.

Hey there saint, and thanks.  Yep...I love the jumbos!  I actually only bought the Taylor last week, so I'm in the process of "feeling her out" so to speak.    But so far I love it.  I really don't think I'd have a favorite between the Larrivee and the Taylor.  I plan on utilizing them for different purposes.  The J-05 with the mahogany b/s has a woodier, punchy sound...relatively quick note decay which makes it very snappy and effective in cutting through a mix.  The J-05 will stay in standard tuning, and will be used with a greater emphasis on fingerstyle, though it does handle a pick awfully well.  The 815, with rosewood b/s has gorgeous boominess and sustain with an inherent reverb quality.  The bass is deep and lush, without sacrificing the clarity of the mids or highs to my ears.  This will be my DADGAD guitar.  The open and droning strings just come alive here...whether using a pick or fingers.  I sold a used Larrivee J-09 to finance the 815.  They are both quality guitars.  My aim was to have both a quality rosewood b/s and mahogany b/s guitar...since they are pretty much on the opposite sides of the tonewood tonal spectrum IMO.  I'm very happy with them both.
