With a 6 string, that is a 12 fret, I would want the cutaway. I don’t go beyond the 12 fret much, but sometimes I do. With a 12 string guitar (like the 562ce) I would want the full body to capture all that sound, besides I don’t think it would be necessary with a 12 string. I wanted the bevel only because it looked good. Since its a smaller body guitar I don’t think it really makes a difference on my arm. But…. now that you asked, I’m going to pay a little more attention to it on my other guitars that don’t have the bevel. If I see a different, i’ll post.

Very happy with my choice of guitars. It will keep me out of the guitar stores for awhile .

I just saw a tutorial on ‘Man of Constant Sorrow’ and it was in Open D tuning. That’s what gave me the idea of having a guitar set aside just for that.

Yes, it was the best thing I have done on my guitar journey. 🙂

I was leery of the cutout. I thought a smaller guitar and then removing more of the space in it? Just sounded like trouble to me. But, alas, it sounds great. Since it’s attached at the 12th fret I might need that cutout to get to those higher strings. All in all, it was a good choice for me. Thanks

I really like it. I can’t believe how much easier it is to play. I have a Taylor GS mini and the T-812 is easier on my fingers than the mini. The neck of the guitar is real smooth and it seems the strings hold down better. So very happy.

I have always held Martins on a pedestal since I was a kid. That’s why I bought the Martin D28. I should have done my homework and realized that it was not going to be a good guitar for me or for finger picking. I looked at the Martin line and I didn’t see anything that I really liked or that was suited to me. I investigated guitars before buying the Taylor 812. Also made sure I went to guitar stores trying guitars out this time and was able to do comparisons. I paid more than I wanted to, but, the plan is not to get rid of it. 🙂

Yep, it’s happy guitar day in this house. Thank you. 🙂

Really like the Taylor 812ce. Now I’m thinking i’m going to use my Taylor GSmini for open D tuning and get myself familiar with that. I just saw ‘Man of Constant Sorrow’ in a tutorial in Open D. Give me something new to try. Just started the Strumming course with Tony. Glad you have yourself a favorite. It’s always nice to have a spare 🙂

It was a touch decision to trade in the Martin. It’s a nice guitar and lot of sound to it. But, it just wasn’t my fit. Now, I know better.

The best thing I started doing was researching on-line for guitars best for finger-picking. Then I googled what stores had what I wanted to look at ‘in stock’. That was the best thing I could have done. Nothing like actually sitting down and playing the instrument before laying down your cash. The store I used also has a 45 day return policy. That nailed it for me. I can’t go wrong with that.

Thanks, I am really surprised how much easier this guitar is to use. Super easy on my finger tips.

Thanks, I am really enjoying it so far 🙂
-
Thank you, I really do see a good relationship between the 812 and myself. Many years 😉

It is a much better fit for me. So comfortable to hold. Thanks
