what a beautiful guitar! Is it me or does it seem something is missing when the fretboard is blank? I love the cocobolo headstock in the back that dovetails into the hog neck.

Since we cant talk about price in here...what are the first two digits of the price paid for one of these... $26XX??

Now is that allowed? aha or you can just pm me how much you got this beauty for.

Exquisite!

There's little doubt that these 2008 fall limiteds will be highly sought after for years to come. The coco and koa combined with the bindings/purfling that they did with these are some of the nicest eye candy I've ever seen from Taylor. And *that* is saying something since we're talking about the company that sets the aesthetic standard!

Go Taylor!

Please, can we show some mercy here, and STOP SHOWING PICTURES of the Fall Limiteds.


P.S. Congrats, it's a beauty.

P.S.S. How did you get one without the cutaway?

very sweet - it's good to see Taylor edge back towards Fall/Summer LTDs value by adding pretty inlays, binding and perfing. Looks pretty much like an R Taylor!

these come with the ES...removing it is not an option. check out the above photos you'll see the ES knobs the GS has an option of doing with or without the cutaway. cheers!

Neither did I, I was just spending the day in the guitar shops..... I should never do that! I really love my GS5 and when I played this it was...WOW. I like the full non cutaways, too.

Hey Craig.....Thanks for the compliments. The Fall LTDS are truly special sounding.

I was thinking of you recently when I heard someone looking for a Gibson L5 CES. There are a bunch of pricey ones around here. I hope you find one soon. They are AMAZING!

Cheers from Starbucks Central here in Seattle!
