Played a Taylor 810-WMB yesterday and was truly impressed. Am thinking about buying it, and am looking for info about this limited edition from 1997. Did not find any info on the Taylor net site, BTW.

I was told it is a Taylor Custom Shop guitar, part of a limited run series of about 275 guitars, and that it has a 900 series rosewood back and sides, premium grade sitka spruce top. It also has wood biding with bloodwood purfling, abalone rosette, ebony fretboard. The WMB is supposed to stand for "wood binding, more bass", and I was told it has slightly different bracing to allow a fuller, tighter bass.

To my ear, the tone was like a cross between a Martin and a Taylor - think Martin bottom end matched to the clarity of Taylor mids and highs. Truly a very nice guitar.

Anyone out there have an 810-WMB, or know something about them? Thanks.
