I like the blank fretboard and the bridge inlay. Nice looking Taylor.

Thanks for your kind words, everyone.

I'll follow up with a review in a few days.

I'm not a huge Taylor fan to be honest but I do like the finer things in life and had to have a Taylor in my collection at some point.

I was in the market for an archtop guitar but couldn't find anything I liked under $5K.

I saw a Taylor GS with a red price tag on it and was intrigued. Then I saw the back and sides of the guitar and felt a bit weak. Finally, I A/B'ed the instrument against everything else in the store and was sold. It was a unique opportunity to grab one of Taylor's finest at a more than decent price so I jumped on it.

Beautiful! I almost pulled the trigger on a Fall Ltd last year, and finally did on a Spring Ltd this year. IMHO Limited Taylors are some of the best value out there and hold their own with a lot of instruments. I even had some Martin and Goodall guys oohing and aahhing over mine last night at an acoustic jam!
