Default For those who asked...

Here's a photo of the back of my custom all-figured sapele GS taken at Taylor in final set-up last week:



A photo of the front will follow in the next post...

You're not planning on playing that guitar, right?

Just sittin' and starin' at it -- shimmering and mesmerizing!!

Make sure when that guitar arrives, that Brian S. actually sent you that guitar -- he looks like he want to hide that in his room at home!!!

Default Awesome!

That's AWESOME! I really like the "sunburst" on the headstock/neck.

But WAY MORE impressive is Brian's haircut! <smirk> Kinda "spiked" / kinda "razor cut".... nice!

Nice looking instrument! I'm sure the tour he was giving at that time (right at the end of the tour since the clock on the wall says 2:00 pm) got a real kick out of seeing your guitar.

I think the clock says 11:35:40, cuz if you look at the picture of the top of the guitar, the second hand has swung around to 11:35:50.

Black Hot Rods put my GAS factor off the scale. I wonder if they're for sale?
