I paid $2100 for my Taylor 710CE. I paid $1800 for an SG supreme that never really worked for me. It became, by various trades, a tricked out Epiphone Les Paul Custom, an Epiphone Casino, and a Fender highway one telecaster. Any of those 3 axes works better for me than the SG did. I have never regretted buying the Taylor, however.-Richie
