Maggie May Update
I found out some great news and some not-so-great news about my guitar, Maggie May.
The not-so-great news is that she has a twisted neck. Her neck is bowed under on one end and over on the other. This is a manufacturing defect and is very rare. The cool thing about the repair shop that I took her to is that they are the ones who noticed it and called Taylor about it. The shop is an authorized Taylor repair shop, as well. Taylor does not like the idea of a defective guitar floating around out there. The neck is covered under warranty, so Taylor is going to ship out a new neck at no cost and the shop will put it on and Taylor will reimburse the shop. It is only going to take several weeks, which I expected and I am fine with that.
The great news is my playing does not suck as bad as I thought! My clumsy fingers were due to a twisted neck. This makes sense, because I really noticed a difference when I played the same songs that I play high on the neck of my Ibanez. I forgot how thin my Ibanez is compared to my Taylor. I feel like a giant when I play my Ibanez, Ophelia. Maggie just makes me look that much smaller when I play her.
I am a typical girl, when I go shopping for guitars; I have to see how they look on me, first, then see how they play!
Vainly yours,
