Default My latest Taylor here in OZ!

I couldn't afford a Taylor GC Liberty Tree but I've been able to buy #302/500 Taylor Baby Liberty Tree.
I'd never seen or heard of one before,only the T5 & GC.
This may be the only one in Australia! I should receive it before Christmas.
Does anybody else own one?
Has anybody had the new ES2 pickup retro fitted to a previously pickup free Baby guitar?

I have a Baby Liberty (and its big brother too). Don't see them around often. They are pretty cool indeed. ES2 retrofit isn't really offered yet, apparently would require replacing the full bridge. If you want/need electronics I'd go with something unobtrusive.

Did you have it shipped from the US? May I ask what shipping costs were?

Perico - congrats. I didn't realize there was a Taylor Baby Liberty Tree. Where these released around 10 years ago?

All I know from my research is the GC was made in 2002,which I think there was 400 made.
There was also 400 TB's.(I think?)
The T5 was introduced in 2008,50 made,1 to represent each state.
Does anybody know when the Baby "Liberty Tree" was made?
