Garland, Ladies were really nice.

You were there, so maybe you can answer a question.

That first lady, with the short hair, she was playing a Taylor and it sounded very nice. Very sweet, even warm sounding, which is actually strange for a Taylor, more of a Martin thing, but anyways. Her guitar sounded very sweet is my point.

Everybody else's guitars sounded like cheap tinny garbage in comparison. What was up with that? It sounded to me like the other people were maybe (I dunno) using pedals that were actually killing their acoustic's sound? I have no idea. I was just kinda shocked at how so far and above the other guitars that one lady's Taylor sounded. I know Taylors are good, but they're not that good. LOL. Something else must have been going on there.

It's all the same sound system right? I dunno again.

=====================================

Derick, yes sir, but no one recorded me...

TonyKgull, it sounds that way in person too. Yes we all use the same sound system. All I see her do is plug it in, using the cable already there that runs to the mixer board. A couple of guys have shown up in the past using a Taylor and I was amazed at how well they sounded... their's were different than hers in size and woods, but still had that throaty sound (is what I call it)which is not what I heard when I tried a couple of them at GC- I even asked the guys about them and they claim to know nothing different, they just liked what they bought... admittedly, one was a Rosewood, back and sides though.

I'll ask her if and when she shows up again, because I too was impressed at it's sound.

Garland,

What. No one recorded you, you know where your friends are.

I have noticed that John guy, he's always fiddling with the sound thing, may be he switches it off when you sing, a jealousy thing maybe.

Garland, Hmm. You made me super curious, so I looked at the videos again in the highest quality to see if there was something I could spot.

There was one thing.....I think. I'm not 100% sure, but I noticed that the lady with the Taylor, her guitar was the only one I could not see into the sound hole. Everybody else I could see the labels etc inside their guitars. I'm wondering if she is using a sound hole cover.

If that's what it is, I'm blown away again. I've never used one cuz the only 2 I ever bought to try ended up not fitting the guitars I had at the time so I gave up on it. But,....if that's the only difference, that's quite a dramatic difference and I may re-visit trying one of those things out again.

Not sure if it would help me in my situation cuz admittedly, I have fantastic sound people using a fairly high end pro sound board system. But still, that is quite a dramatic difference and has got me super curious to try one now. They're not expensive so what the hay right?

TonyKgull,

Just chucking another thing in, maybe it's because it's a small body guitar, a Taylor GS Mini I think.
