Bad news.   With all the horrific weather happening, it is giving us winter blizzard conditions.  I have noticed this morning that Interstate 80 is closed,  this is the third day.  Winter blizzard conditions and accidents have shut it down since Sunday morning.  The result is that I may not get my new last guitar that I will ever need till…….            And it is snowing right now

Awe, man.  I've got a new one coming this month, too.  So i feel your pain on the waiting.  It'll be all the better when you finally get it, though!

[Lizzy]

Wow, this is too bad...the waiting is such a pain. I hope it gets to you soon!

Snow?!  It was 90 deg F and clear blue skies here in Central Texas yesterday...!  You should have shipped it here to me!

I was thinking that the only current Taylor series with Rosewood binding, gold tuners, gloss finish, and sans a pickguard was the "K" series (Koas)...  But I'm not sure if they still offer an option for a Sitka top, I don't think the bracing you specified applies, and I'm pretty sure they don't have an Abalone rosette...  But could it be a pre-ES2 Koa...?

seeing that he's bought the guitar, i'm pretty sure
he knows what kind of bracing & rosette it has

i don't remember mgap saying that it's a current model ...
or did he

Yeah, I realize that.  I was just thinking out loud more than offering a definitive guess.

I don't believe he ever said one way or the other...  At least not yet...

[michaelw]

i don't think the body shape has mentioned either -
GA/X14

i may be on the right track, but hopefully it won't be long until you  get it

rear strut assemblies, mounts  & left inner tie rod arrived (for the guitar hauler) -
waiting on an x-pipe, 02 sensor bung & for the tire shop to let me know the TQs made it

need to install the rear springs, adjustable pinion snubber & dust the quads -
should probably order the aluminum driveshaft, then install the loop & get it on the track

[mgap]

Well this may be the last of the hints.  It is in town and should be delivered today.  It is a GA X14,  it is not a 2014 model but rather a 2009.  I have had one of these before only it was a X16/GS style.  It has Rosewood b/s.

5 out of 5 correct.  next clue.  It is beautiful!!  The rosewood is a special rosewood, not EI rosewood

[michaelw]
