Even prettier in person. The tone is very warm and extremely well balanced. I like it better than my 811e, which to me can be a little too bassy - I know weird for a small guitar, but I think comes from the C-class bracing. For my music style, I also like that the new guitar has fewer overtones, but is long way from dry sounding. Sounds great right out of the box, and I am sure will only improve as the guitar is played. To me, Taylor has done amazing things with the GT body shape.
