Taylor Guitars How do I love thee, let me count the ways

I have recently been looking to buy an acoustic guitar. Actually, I've been meaning to buy one since my classical guitar (which I so fondly called Butterfly) broke when I was away at college. Going to college in Saskatchewan, and if you know any thing about the province, it's a dry and windy place where guitar's need fans, and little mini-humidifiers to keep them from cracking. It was quitely kept in a paded case, leaning in the corner of my dorm room. I couldn't aford a proper guitar stand, and if it were the case I'm sure this fateful day would not have happened. One day I was cleaning and I noticed out of the corner of my eye the guitar come crashing to the ground. And I was yelled, "NOOOOOooooooooo!!" and almost as if in slow motion, I hurdeled to the aid of my Buterfly. It was too late. She had fallen. Tears streaming down my cheek, I opened up the padded case to find her neck was splintered and severed in the meanest way just below the head. I asked the opinion of some reputable guitar players in the music department at my college if they could assess the situation to if it was fixable, and how much they thought it would cost. When all was inpected, it was like watching an episode of ER pan out before my eyes. The docor is walking down the corridor to the awaiting and anxious parents of a child in critical condition. With a slow somber look, which says more than the words he is about to speak, he says, "The diagnosis is not good. Your child will not make it through the surgery. I'm sorry." And the mother crumbles to the ground in gasps and horrid screaming. Anyhow...in my case it was, "Negative ghostrider...this guitar is not salvageable". It was a sad day when my baby died!! :( I cried, I grieved, and I slowly recovered. I am now building a musical life in the absence of my 'Butterfly'. Nothing in my search for Butterfly the 2nd has come close to what I'm looking for, until I found this....Taylor's PS_10ce. Aint she a beaut! All that detailing in the neck and around, and the body looks like a 6 o'clock sunset on the Canada day! She's worth every penny of the $11 grand US they're charging for her. That's $11G that I DON'T have...sigh...but who say's a girl can't dream; cause I'll never stop dreaming! Than I saw this next guitar, the Taylor T5 Thinline guitar. Comes in a variety of colours, blue and black being my favourite. The brown one is beautiful as well. I was so ecstatic to see that they were priced more reasonably, you're going to pay a maximum of $3,800US for this one. Taylor Guitar's are some of the most beautiful pieces of wood craftmanship I have ever seen. I would be proud to own one of theses! You can bet that $11 grand I'd be proud of it! haha
And last but not least, I love the leather guitar staps, red is a bold colour, much like that of the burning heat rising on the 6 o'clock sunset on Canada day. A perfect fit, for a perfect dream, for a perfect guitar! Ah...Taylor, this is how I love thee. Truly, madly, deeply!
