What series Taylor is it? Im considering a 114 or 214 as my next splurge 

It is a 210CE-K-DLX
obviously it's the dreadnought body with Koa back and sides which both look and sound amazing! 
I love the Taylor's, I played dozens of different guitars when I was looking for it and this stood head and shoulders above the others to me. 
Give the Taylor GS Mini a try too.  It is a great little guitar it really is. I nearly bought one but ended up with mine and I do love it.

Thanks; I am searching for my first decent acoustic and I want to try the GS and all the 100's and 200's, when I get the change to visit a shop. I'm interested to see the difference the shorter scale length makes with the GS mini.

Like all these things it's very much personal choice of course. I liked the GS but being an ample lady I just felt that the body was going to look a bit mismatched against me. They are great quality guitars, superb warranty too. I would recommend them totally!! Good luck with your search

I've the same LP as that albeit with a few mods. Get the scratchplate off!

Those guitars pretty much cover everything but that doesn't mean you don't need a Telecaster.
Everyone needs a Tele.

Haha, well strangely enough I went to see my friends at GuitarGuitar in Epsom a couple of weeks ago especially to try some Tele's but the shop was very busy and full of clever dick 10 year olds shredding for their lives and so I didn't really get to try them as I was rather too self conscious. It is something that is on my list though I can assure you!! Haha

Lovely collection there, @Blackjack , and a special wow for the resonator!  Can I ask what it is?

Thanks for your kind comment! I have got a couple more but these are my playing family lol
the Resonator is an Ozark 3515BE. My mother saw it hanging in the shop and just fell for it totally and 'had' to buy it.  And no, she can't play at note!! It was just the fact that it was so lovely to look at that made her splash the cash! Haha

Thank you! I am a bit of a kleptomaniac when it comes to guitars! I have also got a black Stagg Strat copy (bought as kind of a piece of wall art for a party for £15 off EBay.  Never plugged it in or played it, would probably explode! ), a red Squire Affinity 'Strat type' that came as part of a beginners starter kit including a little amp and gig bag for about £250 (my first electric guitar, looks great), and an Alhambra Spanish acoustic which was the first guitar I ever owned when I was about 18 (it's got a huge great neck on it and a pig to play).

Kleptomanic?! Do you perchance mean compulsive hoarder?

Yep, when it comes to guitars I am guilty as charged! 
They are just so bloody beautiful!!
