I am enjoying my second NGD ('new to me' guitar days actually) in as many weeks as I picked up a mint condition used Taylor 110 yesterday (I bought a MIK Epi Dot last week). These normally sell for $585 ($661 after tax) here and I picked this one up for $350 so I am very happy with that deal. The action on it is a little high right now but I am going to leave it for the time being. The guy I bought it from had stored it for a couple of years without humidifying it so it has dried out a little and, when I took it to my tech today, he tweaked the truss rod but said we shouldn't bother dealing with the action for 6-8 weeks so that we can see what it is like after I have humidified it for that amount of time. Still, despite the action being a little high right now, it feels great in my hands and is very comfortable to play. Here are a couple of pictures of her:

Colchar, that's a beautiful guitar! What happened to your Seagull? You should post a picture of your Dot also. Man, you're really getting into this guitar stuff. I'm sort of the opposite, I've gotten rid of my GAS for now, and I haven't been playing very much lately. I'm trying to catch up on my playing now that my son is on winter break and I don't have to be at the ready to go substitute at school.
Congratulations on that beauty!

Thanks.
I got rid of the Seagull as I was finding the neck just wasn't comfortable for me. It was a good guitar but as my playing improves I am starting to better understand what I like and what I am comfortable with so the Seagull has been replaced by this Taylor.
As for the Dot - I'll post another NGD thread in a minute!
