Tobias Music has been posting a couple pictures of one they have in their shop, and I just so happen to be heading there for an acoustic jam on Saturday...

I like the looks, but I'm not a fan of mahogany topped guitars. I just find them too muddy and quiet. But, I think it will be a winner overall for most.

My prediction is that this guitar will be the ultimate "warm" guitar and dispel any residual myths about Taylors being too bright...

I'm excited to try one myself, but that video makes it sound pretty much exactly like the 324ce V class I used to own. I do hear a huge difference between my 717 and 814ce v dlx, so there's probably a difference here as well. We'll see.
