I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that out of 300 models of taylor guitars, you ended up with basically the same sapele auditorium. talk about validation for what i chose WOW!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before i forget, i wanted to mention something regarding batteries in my guitars. i have had batteries destroy a camera, a camping light and probably several other things when they fucked up and oozed. I have that taylor and also an active EMG Schecter and both are never stored with a battery inside. the taylor is nice because the battery is in that nice EZ2 remove plastic thing. i set the whole thing on the shelf out of the guitar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this segues into your question about amp recommendations for that active taylor output. I don't really plug the acoustics in. so, in all honesty, i don't know enough to make a valid recommendation. i plugged it into every amp i own when i first got it just to see what's what, but that was it.
I do know that dedicated acoustic guitar amps are more accurate than electric guitar amps and cost quite a bit more than the equivalent SS electric-guitar amp.
i do know that when my son first brought his taylor over and we tried it into the little fender greta 2watt tube amp, we both looked at each other and sort of both said "treetop flyer!" and we were stoked and hoisted our beers with gusto heh. and that sold me right there on taylor.
also, IDK if you have had a 30watt combo amp before, but if it is tubes, it may be too much power for any in home use. 10 tube watts is frickin loud in the house. the problem is when you want to start driving the tubes for the tone, the volume is too much.
also, horsing around in guitar center for a few hours is worth its weight in gold. you may find something you were not even aware of, that you really like. and those guys/gals will have some recommendations too. (use their taylor guitar in case you bash it on something in the store haha)
that's all i have. [Maxwell Smart voice] "Sorry about that chief" [/Maxwell Smart voice] this is where we need the acoustic guru to step forward.
