anyone have opinions/experience on/with this guitar?
local guitar center has it for 900, and i love how it sounds/feels when i played it.. is it a good buy?

its the only Taylor 12er ive played and i love it. its the single most beautiful sounding instrument ive ever played. i can only imagine how their higher end 12ers sound

Yeah I have to agree with shane here on this one as well, I love the 355-CE, awesome sounding guitar! That's a steal for $900. My local guitar shop is selling it's 355-CE for $1600, pfftt! But I would go for it if you have the $$$$.

yeah, $1600 is around what it goes for here. i think that 355ce there costs less than a 310 does here. jerk :p heh. go buy it

Taylor's best made guitar (relative to other high volume manufacturers) is their 12 string.

I went to my local guitar shop, and I picked up the 355-CE to play, and the bitch was out of tune! Oh well, I was liking the 754-CE I was playing though

well..
the guitar is used, thats why it is only 900.
they have a new one there for 1300.
just wish i had the money for it right now, oh well, starting my job soon, so i'll have enough in a few weeks.

355-ce is an amazing guitar and for the money i dont think you will find a better cost to value ratio. If it is still available and you dont want it... I DO!!

cheers

question guys..
the 355ce is an acoustic/electric.. when i plug it in is it going to sound electric-y.. or will it sound like an acoustic amplified?

well, if you plug into an acoustic amp or a PA it will definately sound like an acoustic. if you plug into an electric amp, youll need to tweak it to get it to sound like an acoustic. my piezo on my Godin sounds perfectly acoustic coming out of my marshall.

Its alright. Negotiate the price on the new one and buy that with the expression sysytem instead of the used one I'd bet you could get the new one down to 1100 if you talk to the sale represenative.

turns out the one i was looking at the last time i went guitarcenter wasn't an acoustic/electric.. and the best price they could give me on a acoustic/electric was 1600

too much for me right now.. anyone have a suggestion for a 12 string acoustic/electric around 700-900 dollars? i was looking at some takamines.. and i played a fender 12 string when i was at guitar center.. it actually didn't sound too bad.. :Shrug:
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
