New guitar day. Unfortunately it's got to ride around in the big brown truck all day, before I get to see it. I'm at the end of the route. Not a Taylor, only because they don't make one. Solid koa/maple binding. Satin finish.

Looking forward to pictures!!! Congratulations on your NGD!The curly maple binding is one of my favorite aesthetic aspects of my 816 and my K26 has a little maple purfling in it, too. Not very visible to other viewers , but as the ones holding the guitar , we get to look right down at it whenever  we want to. Congrats!

Well, it arrived and I'm loving it. Have wanted a short scale (24 inch) solid wood guitar for a long, long time. Been wishing Taylor would do a GS-Mini in solid woods. Got a Larivée koa parlor. With an 1 3/4 but, and 12 fret neck, it's the easiest guitar I've ever played. The sound is nice for finger picking, but it's also a small cannon with a thin pick. Head to head against my mini, where the mini peaks out early, this thing is just gaining steam.  Still love my mini because I travel a bit, and do some camping. Probably will not be playing the mini much at home, any more.
