My TS guitar is finished ...

[buddiesorg]

and I've seen it!

Yes, I have. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. It has strings and everything.

I saw my other guitar, too ... it's in finish.

And I saw someone else's TS guitar ... cocobolo ... GA ... Florentine cutaway ... who's is it?

[cpmusic]

Woo-hoo! Congratulations, Mary! I can't wait to see it.

[meridian]

That's wonderful, Mary!!

Should be in your hands soon, no?:)

[tbondo]

Cool stuff, Mary.....you sure deserve a big hug for all your efforts on behalf of the TS crowd.....and we hope your guitar is beautiful, awesome, and perfect!

Tom

PS My PS14 sounds better every day...it is as described above...it was so real to get to open that case and check it out with all you guys and gals!

[meridian]

Ditto what Tom said!:)

[rsimper]

Congrats Mary! Cant wait to see it...

[Doug L.]

Mary,

Glad to hear the great news! We all know how good you are at posting wonderful photos. I can't wait to see them... Enjoy them...

Best Regards,
Doug L. :)

Mary
Congratulations! I am so glad you will get it soon. I know you'll post pics so I won't even ask :) (wait, I just did :))

[buddiesorg]

Well ... they've been up for a few hours and no one's commented on them ... so I guess I just have to make the announcement that they're up ... I just got around to checking the links and they work just fine. No one's claimed the 814 with Florentine cutaway yet ...

So, I guess I've posted pictures of my completed guitar before I even get to touch it ... so when I do finally get it, I can just get down to playing it without you guys pestering me for photos. :)

[cpmusic]

Well now, Mary, you didn't say you posted pictures! I just looked them up, and those guitars are beautiful!

[buddiesorg]

Now all I have to wonder about is how it sounds ... and wonder when I'll get to touch it. It's finished ... but I wonder how long it will stay in BT's office. I wonder if it's going to sound as good as I think it should. I wonder if I should have gotten a GA instead. And then the koa ... I wonder if that was the best combination ...

Oh, I shouldn't be thinking about these things ... so far I haven't gotten a Taylor dud. And now I'll have guitars without cutaways or electronics ...

[meridian]

Boy! Those are two gorgeous guitars!!

I really like your 810-LTD! I like the inlays you chose. Really makes me want to see mine!!

Mary- Congrats--If they sound half as good as they look you should be in great shape!!

[rlwing]

Very nice Mary - you will enjoy it soon!

[J.R. Rogers]

Mary, your TS guitar is lovely. But that PS-10....!!!!! :eek: :eek: !!!! That is seriously nice. I can't wait to see better pics once you have the guitar.

No one is claiming the other cocobolo? It has to be a Forum guitar ... I don't think they're putting that grade of cocobolo on the standard limiteds ... I couldn't see the front to see if it said Forum, but I'd think it has to be one.

Well, it looks like the Forum guitars are mostly all done ... no labels since the the last ones I posted ... and now it looks like my PS is going to be done earlier than I thought (I was hoping late November/early December) ... so I won't have an excuse to go to Taylor anymore ... besides, I like the anticipation of waiting for a guitar. I can almost feel the let down already.

That's Mike Carter's Cocobolo. Here's a picture of his raw wood from Steve's site. Besides, he's the only one who got the florentine cutaway.

Have a problem? Call the detective...me! :lol:

[Mike Carter]

Congratulations Mary !!

I am happy you got to see your guitars being built in the factory like that. what a feeling that must be.

The Cocobolo Florintine is definitely mine did you get a picture by chance ?

I am beside myself wondering what it looks like.

Mike

[Mike Carter]

OH OH OH !!!

I saw the picture on your site. Now I am stoked, thank you so much mary this completed a very good day for me.

What day was that taken ?

Mike

[buddiesorg]

I saw somebody's horses ... :)

[buddiesorg]

Mike? Are you there? It looks really nice ...

[buddiesorg]

You could see it now, Mike ... are you there?

[J.R. Rogers]

Mike ... did you read the text I added after I thought about the moments before and after I recognized your guitar? It was funny ... some of the Factory workers thought it was my guitar ... I was so excited about seeing it.

I didn't expect (hoping though) to see either of my guitars today ... but I was wondering if I'd see yours. Oh, and Jeffrey, I think I saw yours again today ... still waiting for a neck ... I didn't take a picture of it because almost all of its back was blocked from view, but what I did see of it appeared to be yours.

[jeffrey]

Awww, where's my neck? :(

And no, not the one that holds my head up. I know where that one is. :D

[Mike Carter]

Mary,

I definitely would not kill you for not getting pictures of my guitar, But I do LOVE you for getting them.

That's to funny, I can just see you shouting,
"That's a forum guitar" !!!

I am so glad you were able to get such nice shots, I am going to try to print them to some good glossy paper. I can't thank you enough.

Well I am leaving right now to go see Pat Kirtley, I will try to get some pictures.

Mike
