Here is my BTO. Cedar top with Mahogany back and sides. Ebony binding, 600 series inlay, T5 neck, short scale, shaded edgburst, Gotoh ebony tuners.  Sounds like honey, plays like butter.

WOW, look at that back! It's just unreal (dare I say unfair?) what Taylor can do in guitar making. We are a fortunate bunch!

My humble submission to this thread: my 210. I think I got a really great set of woods with this one -- check out the nice grain on the top and the really nice silking. Also, the sapele on my guitar is really nice -- from a distance you get the typical striped look, but closer in the grain almost looks more like mahogany.

My 210 has the signature Taylor "sparkle" but also has a nice dry, woody, punchy tone in the bass and mids that I don't hear often when I've played other Taylors. It records beautifully and people have always given compliments about how it sounds live -- I've had several people ask if it's an old 510 before and they can't believe it's a 210.

Anyways, I'm a big fan of understated beauty in guitars and this is about as simple of a Taylor as you'll find. I love it!

That's a great looking guitar!  I've really only heard good things about those 210's...heard that they can really boom.

That 514 is nice. Reminds me of Martin's 15M series and the Santa Cruz 1929 line, which is a good thing.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their beautiful instruments.  Here's 2/3 of my guitar family.  My 12-string was camera shy.

My Taylor DDX Doyle Dykes Deluxe

So beautiful. So simple. Other than a GS mini (w/cutaway, if ever made), I think this will have to be my next Taylor. DANG!!!  ::)

There's a distinct lack of walnut in this thread  :P   

This my 2011 414ce Spring LTD - and my first Taylor. For my ears and hands, it's the best guitar I've ever played (and I'm actively looking). It's a woody, breathy orchestra on your lap.

Photos thanks to Willcutt... I still haven't had the time to take my own proper photos. And I've acquired 2 more specialty Taylors since that also need some photos!

We might have to rename this thread to; "The Drooling Thread".  Just kidding folks, but you all have some really good looking instruments :) For me, I set back and imagine how nice they sound and how good they must play.  Thanks to everyone posting....
