Thanks! It's very unique and sounds as pretty as it looks. I asked Taylor for a special top and they delivered.

So what does "Unregistered. I hand picked the wood and had this built a few months ago by Taylor." actually mean or infer?

Are you suggesting that since it's not officially registered that the buyer could get the lifetime warranty?
Wouldn't that be at odds with you being on the record as ordering the guitar for yourself.

She's a looker but if you are flipping her so soon it suggests she didn't sound as good as you expected? Why are you selling so soon?

One doesn't order a Custom Taylor directly from Taylor, the dealer you're working with orders it. What I mean is I haven't registered it, so it is unregistered.

I'm chasing my next dream and need the funds. Have specified a once in a lifetime Private Stock PRS electric as I'm playing more electric these days. And those come at a dear price.

It sounds awesome, like any Rosewood Taylor with a lot of bass (GS shape) and a snappy response due to the Adi top and bracing. For anyone reading this with serious interest and money (no trades) just PM and I can provide a quick recording I did.

Having paid attention to guitar sans guitar purchases over time I can say he has some of the best taste in looks and tonal combinations. I am sure this one is spectacular sounding as it is obviously a gorgeous "looker". GLWS

It's an awesome guitar - classic Taylor redwood sound, with fast response Adi top.
