This was mine...
I was the original owner and commissioned this at the RT shop adjacent the huge Taylor campus in El Cajon.
Three bits of info to add. The neck is indeed an RT Slim Carve, so a mm or so less deep than their standard carve. Very similar to Taylor"s mid 90s pre NT neck shape. The ab dots were my request, and do make jamming easier for your pals! Or you if they are playing yours! Haha The pup was upgraded at Taylor to the ES 1.3 which for my money is the best of ALL the different ES pups. Even Taylor literature says it is the closest to a high quality condenser mic. And last I heard you could still order a new axe with the ES 1.3. Also, the bearclaw on this suoer Sitka is quite striking indeed. And the EIR is really impressive too! This puppy is LOUD, and has a fat tone too. I added the custom Bone bridge pins for a bit more tone... plus they look cool. Screaming Deal on this! I am way overloaded or I would be tempted.... must resist... Hope this helps! Cheers Paul

DNA?
Well Rob,
I guess you might find a fingerprint or two of mine on this guitar. Which by the way is all that. Great deal for this guitar.
