'10 DN7 options
« on: July 13, 2016, 03:22:24 PM »
I recently bought a 2010 DN7 that came with a pickgaurd and chrome tuners, but according to Taylor specs, the DN7's came without the pickgaurds and came with gold tuners.

I looked at several on ebay and Reverb and they had gold tuners and no pickguard.
2013 Taylor 314ce
2015 Martin D-18
1982 Martin HD-28
2004 Fender Telecaster
2010 Martin X-Series
Mid 80's Sigma DM-3

I also forgot to mention that mine has diamond fret markers and my headstock is bound in ivoroid.

my first guess is it might have been a modify-a-model,
with a couple of standard model options -
the gold tuners were sub'd for chrome & the pickguard was added,
but the bound headstock & diamond inlays are not standard

another possibility is that the body is a DN7 &
the 'updated' neck was replaced at a later date

  I know specifications get changed through the years but my 2013 DN7 came with a pick guard and chrome tuners.

Hey Max, is your inlays dots or diamonds? Also, is your headstock bound in ivoroid?
