As my nana would say, "Are those cookies done yet, cuz they smell delicious!?"

I had an impatient nana...
That was just plain funny. ;D ;D ;D

The pics are huge, but the guitar looks AMAZING. I absolutely love the look of that guitar.

In your message, though, you said you got the island vine inlay on the neck, but Taylor told me the island vine inlay was the same inlay as on the K24ce I had before. So, either that was incorrect, or yours isn't the island vine...any ideas?

Hi briguysm,

Just a note to the last post.. I tried my best...I clearly am not sure what I am doing but will learn from my mistakes. Hope this helps. Sorry to all the members for this lackluster attempt to post photos. I admit I got a lot of ideas before I placed this order after seeing our friend cigarfan's guitar posted on our forum after he bought his (a belated thanks my friend)...if I only knew you (cigarfan) were going to sell yours I may have bought it...but I ordered this way before your decision!! Be patient my friend. Jim @ guitarrodeo sent me this exactly 12 weeks to the day I gave him the go ahead! :)

It is in no way necessary to apologize. I know how to post photos correctly and I still do it wrong sometimes. In fact, you didn't do it wrong, actually the pics look great because they are so large and high quality. It's easy to see the detail in the photos. Well done!

I'll probably just have to forget that I ordered it, or else it will drive me insane waiting for it, haha!

Wow shorty! That is one gorgeous guitar. Love your choices. Bet it rings like a bell!

Glad my BTO influenced your choices. Believe me, I would not have sold mine had I not needed the funds for a build.

And I agree with briguysm, you've got nothing to apologize for. The pictures are really nice. And you will figure the sizing thing out after some practice. I like to use 900 pixels wide for most photos I post with 72 pixels/inch as screen resolution. Not sure what kind of computer you have but the program "Paint" that comes on Windows boxes will let you size them down. Just save them with a different filename so you down overwrite your originals.

Stay tuned, peeps!

I know! I'm not sure what I could've done to deserve such a blessing (probably nothing), but I am super excited about it!

Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, but I changed my avatar to a photoshopped image of what my headstock "should" look like.

I had a custom TRC made, and will be putting that on when I have said guitar, but the rest is how it should look when I open the box (of course the grain will be different, but it's the concept).

Edit:  I just realized it's very hard to really see any detail in the avatar because it's so small. I have attached the pic.
