Regarding the new CPSM Taylor (Chris Proctor model), I just bought one #84 of 100. I must say I am very surprised and delighted. The 1 7/8' neck and wider string spacing should be the norm for fingertstyle guitars. Infinitely better accuracy, less string noise caused by nails or picks. The pickup system is very good although needs some tweaking. Too bad only 100 made!

I am waiting for Taylor to build a 12-fret cutaway with a shorter scale (24.9') and a regular scale. I love the sound of 12-frets. Try a Collings 0002H for starters. I think Taylor is missing a big opportunity here.
