Hey green chimneys...

The Taylor 615 with flamed Maple and Sitka top is a great guitar. Surprisingly non-Taylor-esque.

Powerful sound, with strong fundamentals and not a lot of overtone content. I have a friend with one, and playing it's like driving a very powerful car with a lot of power under the hood while cruising around really slow.

You know the power is there when you need it...but it cruises just fine.

Not sure if Taylor still builds them or not.

[EDIT]I just looked on the Taylor site and it's now made as the 616ce (or GS) instead of the old number of 615. I didn't see a noncutaway available...but it's the current model of the same guitar my friend owns. I like it better than the old Guilds which are pretty severly overbuilt comparatively.[EDIT]
