Tobias Music released a pretty good video with details and demos on the new Taylor 400 series. 412 (grand concert), 414 (grand auditorium) and 417 (grand pacific) body shapes.

I love the way Taylor does their tobacco sunburst. I had a GA7 with that burst and it was one of the best looking guitars I've ever had...until I found my AD27e Flametop.
I'm curious to see how the 417 stacks up against up against the 717. One thing I don't care for with the 717 was the strap button drilled into the back. It's also interesting to see less of a difference in price point. The 400 series is no longer one of the value options like it used to be, but rosewood is a premium wood. On the other hand, I feel like my Flametop is a great value for the price!

Cool vid ...thanks for posting that!
I love that Taylor has come back to making the "Limited" guitar as they used to have a Fall and Spring Ltd for years. Each variant had its own "flavor package" that was off-menu compared to the rest of the line, and IMO the Ltds offer a value that goes well beyond the regular guits. Cool new offerings.
