Hmmm... my first guess is you're a guitar.   ;)  Unusual; in spite of the name of this place, we don't get many guitars that post.

 ;D

Yeah, I'm probably reading this wrong.  I know: back in my corner.

I'll say you're a TAYLOR guitar.
Like Jim, maybe I'm missing something.... :-\

No mention of the Ebony headplate.  Taylor described it as -
Quote
a Hawaiian koa / Western Red cedar 714ce-LTD, adorned with Indian rosewood body and fretboard binding and a rosewood heel cap.
The other offering was a nice Coco LTD. 
Quote
Beauty also resides in the rich finishing details that create a series of gorgeous visual counterpoints: a cocobolo backstrap out- lined in ebony and maple; delicate pinstriping along the fretboard and headstock; and a cocobolo heel cap. Also offered are premium appointments normally found on our 900 Series: gold Gotoh tuners, a bone nut and saddle, an abalone top, and 900 Series peghead and bridge inlays.

Boy those were a couple of nice Fall limited offerings from Taylor.

the other fall 08 GX(c)eLTD-C/Ks  had sitka tops, adi CV, either cocobolo b&s with koa binding
or koa with coco, matching mini-wedge & bound soundhole & gloss ebony headstock overlays -
i'm hoping that a LTD archive makes an appearance sometime soon because if one hasn't
downloaded the back issues of W&S that currently are not on the website, finding specs ain't ez
