Haha! Yeah...me too.
I had the opportunity to visit a shop yesterday that had a couple of the new Grand Pacific Taylors...a 517 & 717. I'm not a huge Taylor fan, but I'll admit they are amazingly easy to play...so I was curious. The fact that the guitars were so "neck heavy" bugged me a little, but the number one deal breaker for me was the satin finish. I know the "Silent Satin" is being spun as a huge deal by Andy Powers, but it just downplays the beauty of the guitars in my personal opinion. I think both models would look absolutely amazing if they were presented with a gloss finish.
I know there are said to be distinct advantages tonally with satin finishes over gloss...but like S-10Ken said..."I like shiny".
