Road Show Report

Taylor posted a picture of the stained maple I mentioned above on facebook

that's an interesting take on the original 900 series inlay -
there was something a bit similar in 03, with the 6XX L1 cherryblackburst LTDs

I've got one coming up near me next month, so it may be time to pick up that 12-string I've been considering. For those of you who have been to a roadshow recently, is Taylor bringing any 12 strings, or just 6 strings? And are they primarily focused on the 800 series right now, or is it still a pretty balanced presentation?

i think that the selection that is on hand is dependent on the dealer's stock &
what didn't sell at the RoadShow previous to the one you end up attending -
the RoadShow i went to recently had 2, possibly 3, 12 strings (a 656e & 456ceSLTD),
but i was more interested in the 800s & A/B'ng those to other 6 string sitka/rosewoods -
was hoping that there might be a 150e, or a prototype, but i guess they're about a month out yet

your best bet might be to call the dealer sponsoring the RoadShow to see what they
have in stock & possibly contacting the dealer where the preceding RoadShow is being
held a little before the event begins to see if anything of interest was brought along on tour
