No, and that adds to the excitement and danger.

I am a pro pallet jack rider! I was a shipping/receiving clerk in my youth and I love using pallet jacks, which I still get to use every now and then when building out data centers. I get yelled at that I’m not 18 any more as I go wizzing by all the losers on the team who can’t ride them.

Vere...had to be about 8 years ago...maybe...went to a Taylor Road Show hosted by our favorite Central Massachusetts
music store. They showed a "one off" dread that looked for all the world like a regular Taylor, but didn't sound like one...
to prove that they could make a "bluegrass" style guitar if they really wanted to (and I may not have that right), they constructed
this piece like a vintage Martin. OMG! Cue the angels singing! And it was for sale, at a price affordable to a person looking for a high end guitar. I would have bought it on the spot had I not just ordered an F512 from Carl. Ufff, things that could have been. They also had an
all Koa (I think) 12-string that was also wonderful. Would like to have A/B'd it to a 512...
@chazmo , where are you, help me out, weren't you there?

Hi @Bill Ashton ! Taylor definitely has had some all-koa 12-strings, and of course it's by choice that they build instruments the way they do. I don't think I've ever played a production Taylor that sounds anything like a Guild, though. A friend of mine had a walnut/cedar-top Taylor dread that was marvelous, though. Would love to have that guitar.
I don't recall the road show that you're referring to, though. I don't think it was me, but then again I turn 60 in a few days, so my memory may be slipping.
Hope you're doing well!

No - but one can make them easily - just take two pieces of wood - one of each side - attach them with sumpting under the forks - just see that they are thicker than the free space under forks at low position.

Or just hit a piece of wood with those wheels. You'll stop very quickly.No - but one can make them easily - just take two pieces of wood - one of each side - attach them with sumpting under the forks - just see that they are thicker than the free space under forks at low position.
