UPS showed up yesterday right on time with my Redwood/Cocobolo 812C. (After hearing about the FedEx truck that crashed, I'm glad Guitar Trader uses UPS).

The guitar is beautiful and sounds great. My fingers hurt today. Thanks to everyone that made this possible, especially J.R., Steve, and Uncle Bob for finding us redwood worthy. My digital camera is broken so I will borrow one this weekend and snap some pics of both mine and my son's maple/sitka 310E.

Hey Art, glad to hear that it didn't suffer from inadvertant detonation on the trip!

Enjoy!

Joe,
I haven't yet. I was waiting for both guitars so that I only had to borrow a camera once.

Congrats Art !!

I almost went with Redwood/Cocobolo Instead of Englemann/Cocbolo. I would sure love to hear how yours sounds for my self. I can only imagine that it is Fantastic.

Enjoy Bro

This guitar is absolutely beautiful both acoustically and aesthetically. If all the other TaylorStock guitars sound this good, we are a bunch of very lucky people! I set up a quick web page with pictures of Sam's and my guitar here:

Art, that is some gorgeous cocobolo! I'd love to hear redwood/coco -- hope you are very happy with it!

BTW, I had a brief conversation with Sam at TS. What a nice son you have! I think you did a great thing, bringing your son and giving him that experience -- and a new 310-LTD -- at his age. You're a good Dad!

I am sure it is an experience he will never forget!

Congratulations on two fine guitars!

I just got a look at the SIDES of your guitar!! I don't remember seeing anything that looked like that at TS!! Did you slip Ed Alves an extra $5??:roll:

Amazing!

To use my 16-year olds' vernacular: That Cocobolo is just sick ...

Beautiful guitars, guys! That cocobolo is some of the prettiest I've ever seen, and the maple on that 310 it outstanding. Congrats!

OK Art, you get the trophy on that one. The cocobolo on the sides of that guitar is priceless. Best I've seen yet. Enjoy!
