That new shaping on the Builder's Reserve is gorgeous. Bet it feels/play great too.

Now, if I had $X,yyy loose laying around...

M19 I have all kinds of X and yyys laying around in my house, just no $ to speak of.  So, I will need to hear all about it from the likes of you.  I hope somebody gets one soon.

I was surprised and pleased to receive my copy of Wood and Steel this week. I had called several weeks ago and asked why I hadn't gotten the last three issues, and the person I spoke with had no idea why I wouldn't have received them. He said he would confirm I was in the database so I would receive future issues, and he must have done so.  I'm happy again to be getting the latest issue.  I just have to go online and read the ones I missed.

I've often wondered about this (given how awesome the W&S publication is)...........
Do you think temptation can set in with the mail handlers along the route, making copies "disappear" into someone else's hands? I know it can't be proved and it's just my speculation on my part. But, I guess if you call Taylor and they don't have your address in the database, then that's the source of the problem.
I have wondered if maybe someone at the post office is into it, but couldn’t they rotate who’s they “borrow”? I am just glad Ted uses UPS so at least none of my guitars has been “borrowed” by the post office!
Now, how to try the v-class bracing, and when will it be on a GC?




All I did, FF, was add the first part of the quote bracket so the system would display the quote correctly.

Maybe Taylor figured you are on a "need to know" basis, and you really didn't "need to know" on a timely basis.  ;)

Now you can look forward to the Winter W&S getting to you about August.  :)

Oh yes, a 712ce LTD.  Sweet Koa 12 fret.  They look awesome.  The 7 series are such a bargain for top notch builds at a good price, and then the LTDs add a extra punch.

Indeed, they are compelling! So enjoying mine.

Hey Marco, Call Taylor customer service.  They will send you one, it will take about a week to get.
