Maybe you'll just have to settle for a daughter named "Taylor" -- with middle initial "V"...  ;)

Either way, congratulations!  And don't worry yourself over having to wait to try a "V-braced" Taylor; I have a feeling a lot of their eggs are going to wind up in that basket...  Todd at Empire Music said to expect a "V-braced" 814 in the not-too-distant future; and given that the 800 Series is their flagship, it probably won't be long before "V-braced" Taylors are ubiquitous at everybody's favorite guitar shop...

Congratulations JJ, that is awesome news.   
The bad news is no NGD for many a day is suspect, but what your getting is so much better.

I wonder if vbracing will ever become a standard even in the 400 series. In Canada 814ce is going for XX dollars before tax and that's way outta my price range.
