NGD! Taylor 555ce 12 String
With permission from SWMBO, I went on a search for a Taylor 12er several weeks ago and after some extensive searching and playing, I wanted a spruce/mahogany combo. After scouring the used offerings of my favorite guitar shops, I was led to a Taylor 555ce. I'm really pleased with this guitar. It plays like a dream and covers all the bases a 12 string should. The spruce has aged into a nice honey color and the mahogany is quite striking, some of the best mahogany I've seen, if I do say so myself. I'll be experimenting with tuning down a full step as well as alternate tunings, but for now, she's tuned up to pitch with lights. A few pics:

Awesome 12 and group of Taylors. I love the 500 series. Hard to beat a Taylor 12.

I had a 555 and loved it. If it had a cutaway like yours I still might have it. Congrats! I love the Taylor 12s in the 5 and 6 series.
