Zeebow you are killing us!   Just an amazing collection! 

This was a custom?  Love the tuners, are they black Gotohs?

yep, this is my all time favorite taylor and was a custom I ordered in 2017. The tuners are gold gotohs with black plastic buttons.

Here's the original NGD thread, with links to a video and the original build thread too, time flies!

And thanks to Zee for not buying the used Euro spruce/Coco GC that was on the market at the time, it lives here now. The sapwood on both of ours is somewhat similar in running down the middle of the back but mine is not as wide. I too like the tuners on yours. Glad you continue to enjoy that one. I tend to keep mine in Drop D and it really seems to thrive there, fwiw.

That is one beautiful guitar.  Of all the Shoreline Cocobolo Custom GC's I've seen, this one may be my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

IMHO, Taylor's use of wood sets is beyond any other big manufacturer. And it's not just the wood sets, its the appointments that look classy, yet not over the top.

I am sure I commented on how nice this one looks when you first introduced us, but I just wanted to comment again on how nice the headstock is.  The color is just perfect, nothing too blingy, just classy.  The tuner buttons are such a great match.
