I think everything on that page is drool worthy!

I try to stay away from those kinds of pages....

Sets back my therapy and rehab, and before I know it, I'm
licking monitor screens again.

I thought I was the only one there for a second.  ;)

No, not hardly....many of us suffer.  I am only recently recovering
from my last relapse which resulted in a W12ce showing up. 
Another slip and I get an ankle bracelet that alarms anytime I
get within 100 yards of my dealer's store.

Wow - I really enjoyed looking at all the guitars at the Tobias site. I had never been there before and mescobar, that Redwood/Mahogany you referenced is a beauty. I think you should adopt that one :)

If you'd like it worse here's the video from that Taylor road show with Bob showing off some of those special guitars...  this was an awesome road show, and you can relive the experience via youtube now :)

this one  :o
http://www.unofficialtaylorguitarforum.com/index.php?topic=3.msg201#msg201
it belongs to Cindy (like the fretboard inlay) ... both are very 8)

actually i'm not drooling  - that would be very unprofessional &
i wouldn't want to accidentally 'overhumidify' anyone's guitar ;)

note to self - pick up lower jaw off the floor :)

Thanks for letting us know about this video. I had never seen it before and found it very interesting. Bob Taylor had something fascinating to say about each guitar - very cool!

Just at the local shop today and played a 35th Anniversary Coco that I would consider killing for.  Hadn't really played much with a armrest on a guitar but I could really see where that would be super cool and that wood combo is just outstanding.
