THE EDGE OF ADDICTION
I read the [Summer '99] issue of Wood&Steel, featuring the new 25th Anniversary models. First, let me say that I read those newsletters, front to back, as soon as I can, and am yet to be disappointed in any edition. Kudos. Also, let me interject that after reading them at work, I go home, pull out one of my four Taylors (410-K, 655, 814-CE, and Baby), and reacquaint myself with my love affair, hoping the urge to purchase your latest cutting-edge model will fade. So far, it's worked. Until I saw the Anniversary models.

I know their number is terribly limited, and, judging from the craftsmanship that goes into each of them, and the rest of your guitars, I can see why there is a limit. I had to laugh at the recent letter in Wood&Steel, about Taylor Acquisition Syndrome. Tone and playability should be controlled by the government, for they are very, very addictive. Congratulations to all at Taylor for 25 years of splendid, and much-appreciated work.
