Taylor custom order

[TaylorGirl]

Congratulations, that is beautiful!  Enjoy your new Taylor!

Very nice, Congrats. Guess the cutaway doesn’t take too much away sound wise.

Congrats Ritchie!  Killer sunburst!   Enjoy.

Thanks folks!

Congrats and enjoy!

FWIW, a cutaway takes away nothing (that can be perceived by human ears) from tone or volume.  It has been said by Bob and other builders I've read in the past that the upper bout is already a part of the soundboard that vibrates little, and what puny real estate is removed for a cutaway makes no audible difference that any mere mortal can tell.  Enjoy in good health and many smiles!

Congratulations.  Your long wait is now over, it will become a distant memory, thanks to the sweet sound of your new guit.

[Toucan256]

It's a beautiful guitar. I hope you and it bond and live a long life together.

Just arrived! just today it's 16 weeks from the order! Soundwise, this has more volume and low frequencies than my 2021 814e, which is a bit strange given that the cutaway "should" take something away from the sound…so, in the end I’m very happy!

wow that’s quick! congrats! i hear manufacturers are catching up on their backlog. glad to see you are loving yours!

Thanks guys! 16 weeks isn’t too much, but I must admit that the last days I had grown very impatient! Anyway, I just installed a fishman matrix infinity and it’s work like a charm!

This. Andy and Bob both say negligible difference for the cutaway. Like, don't worry about it. I get the logic that it seems like it might, but it doesn't. Meanwhile, congrats, that's a pretty one! Reminds me of my first Taylor way back when, except for the radius bevel armrest.
