In a moment of madness I decided to sell my 1989 K22.  :-\

Ouch.  'spose you can rationalize the nut was too narrow.  Do BTO's fall under the "cookie cutter" banner?  Are BTO's just build slots in the normal construction routine or do they still get special handling once the wood has been selected.

Funny you mention your k22.  Once and while I consider letting go my 2005 512ce-L10 (all hog)...then I play her, shake my head and say to myself "what are you thinking!".  I hope to never succumb to the urge.

But I do regret selling my 2010 414ce-ltd (sitka/walnut with maple back wedge).  That was a sweet guitar...oh, and my 2009 710ce-ltd (sitka over maddy rw)...and my...oh well, the lesson is, never let them go!

I do prefer a 1-3/4" nut but that Taylor will haunt me non the less.

Yes, Taylor Customs exhibit the same "cookie cutter perfection" but there are more options to make the guitar your own, both esthetically and tonally. Customs do require special handling.
