I've got an absolutely beautiful Taylor Guitar except for a few cracks and fuck up I've put in the guitar over the years. I spent over 3,500 on the guitar and its gonna be around 500-700 to fix all the damages cause there is some bad structural damage on the inside. I guess what I'm asking is if I should spend the Money to fix it?

have you talked to taylor guitars about it or a local place? i would ask them (conventions are a perfect place). is it from being too dry? you MUST keep your guitar at over 30% humidity. a good shop would keep them stored close to 50% humidity. gl!

It's not being pricks about it, it's a very simple concept.

IMO - as any sort of Musician, you should treat your instruments with MORE respect than lets say your Xbox or Laptop. If you don't care about your instruments, fine. But don't spend $3500 on an instrument and not care about it when you could simply get a reasonable $400 which you can not really care about.

As a musician, you should take care of your instruments. If you dont, you don't deserve to have them - simple as. Argue all you want, but 90% of musicians can't afford to buy a beautiful and expensive instrument, so get off your high horse, accept that you had something OVER other musicians, and take some damn responsibility.

When I scratched my Gibson, I felt sick in my stomach because I had caused damage to something I cared about.

im sorry, but its none of our business what the fuck he does to his guitar. and remember some of your greatest musical inspirations could otherwise be complete bafoons. -not calling you personally a bafoon.

The OP asked a really stupid question. Of course you fucking fix your 3,500 dollar guitar. A person with some respect wouldn't have let it get that fucked up in the first place.

Thanks for trying guys, I'm sorry some people got upset with this because I'm not a materialistic person and realize that there are more important things in life than a guitar and money. I will get it fixed though when I have more money to spend freely, oh and take the bear out of your sig... family doesn't talk to others like that.

There's a difference between taking care of your shit and being materialistic.

and I ain't no fucking hippy. The "family" wouldn't ruin a nice a guitar.

Btw you called me a prick before I said anything to you so if you're going to talk shit you best be prepared to take some.

Indeed, but it does mean you are a careless person with no understanding of responsibility.

pics or gtfo in my opinion. I have a hard time believing someone beat the shit out of their taylor.


Materialistic person? Someone who spends 3500 on an over rated guitar just for that "Taylor" emblem on the head stock.

Taylors are most definitely over rated. I can have a luthier hand build me a guitar to my exact wood and specifications for less then a taylor. Breedloves are better and cheaper.

Im just saying Im having a hard time believing someone would be so careless with such an expensive instrument. My JEM's get "Beaten on", but in no way shape or form are they gonna get damaged, and they aint worth 3500.
