I get the feeling you are just as excited about this guitar or maybe MORE so then her
 Kinda like when I bought my wife a new top of the line BBQ for her birthday. Just joking but now that I have said it…………..

Well...I was excited for her but I got it home and I'm not so sure. Even so she will make the call. I'm going to take these strings off and give it a good cleaning (which really should have already been done IMO) and put a fresh set of strings on it. And for the record I'll go online saying that Taylor's (for the most part) are not my favorite guitars from a voicing standpoint. Being pretty well entrenched in the vintage camp. But don't mistake this for Taylor bashing.There are plenty of other guitars that aren't really to my liking. Taylor builds a fine guitar...just a little to "modern" sounding for my needs? All that matters is if she likes it enough to keep it?
I was excited to have a tangible birthday present for her. Usually for birthday/anniversary/Christmas she gets repudiative gifts of massages/facials/pedicures. But one thing about the latter...they are always the right size and color!

Congratulations on finding a suitable birthday gift for her.
You might try some warmer strings like DR Rare PB when you do the string change. I have several Taylor guitars including a Koa/cedar dreadnought that may be a relative of yours.

That Cedar/Koa dread must be special! I always thought that Taylor dreadnoughts were somewhat sold short. I had a stellar 810 I should have kept...

What a wonderful way to express your love and affection - I haven't got a wife as such although there's this woman who barges around the house making a lot of noise and asking pointed questions about my guitar collection and why the guest room is home to a few amps. Clearly this is the key to peace and harmony and I will buy her a guitar for all her birthdays from now on and possibly as Christmas presents too instead of the whisky and crates of beer I normally give....
