I went down to Taylor again today. My timing was off for seeing any of the TS guitars, but I had the week off and had planned to do this today anyway, so what the heck. While I was waiting for the tour, I noticed the following on the wall alongside the stairs in the main lobby:

Considering that the TGF is unofficial, this is pretty nice recognition, and I just thought you'd want to know. (I apologize for the picture quality; it's a combination of a mediocre digital camera and weak skills. I also have a close-up that's clearer, but you can't tell where in the building it is.)

BTW, I happened to meet up with Jonathan in the lobby, and I passed along everyone's thanks and gratitude once again, for all the planning and for everyone's above-and-beyond efforts on the ordering process. He said he was glad to hear it, and that they also had fun.

He also told me that they're still on schedule to start the TS guitars next week, with the 300s and 400s going in first. He said that normal production time is 8 days for satin finish and 9 days for glossy, but that it might take a little longer since they'll probably be double-checking checking the specs. Anyway, assuming that he meant business days, the first ones should be completed toward the end of the following week, around the 19th or 20th.

Dude! I'm am shocked that they put it in such a prominant place. :eek: Where they have it right now means that every person that takes the tour will see it. That's the spot where everyone sits while waiting for the tour and is right across from the Taylorware items. Now whenever anyone goes to Taylor they'll see me and Jefferey sticking out like sore thumbs in the picture (thanks to the stage lights). :roll: I wonder when I'll start being recognized on the street. "Hey, I know you! You look really familiar. Where do I know you from?" Then I'll just have to smile and act like I really am special. hahahaha :lol:

Cool - Thanks for the picture, Chris! We're famous! We're hanging right next to Kenny Loggins... hehehe!

I heard today that all the TS guitars should be finished by....... October 18th (estimated).

Wow! I'm impressed.

Hmmmmphhh. Guess I'll be sleeping in the office tonight, till the swelling of my head goes down enough that I can get through the doorway to get upstairs.
