I just bought a Taylor this Spring.  And I don’t regret that decision one bit.  I got a sweet deal on an incredible guitar.  But let me indulge in some window shopping on their latest set of masterpieces: the 35th anniversary series.

Taylor is venturing into new territory on some of their acoustic offerings with a 9-string, a Parlor guitar, and a Baritone.

I had never seen a 9-string before, which has a doubled b string and octave-doubled d and g strings.  It’s supposed to offer the best of both the 6 and 12 string guitar (defined bass and highs that aren’t too trebly).  I’m intrigued.  I hope to try one out someday:
