Some also posted elsewhere, but here is the complete set of my 2010 BTO GC.
Premium Redwood
Sitka CV bracing
Bound soundhole
Premium East Indian Rosewood
Early 900 series fretboard and headstock inlays
Slim carve neck
Flamed Maple truss rod cover and Black Cherry armrest were made and added by me.




I love this redwood top! Beautiful grain and coloring! :)

Here's some of my favorite shots:
b-e-a-youtea-ful :D

i especially like the extremely flamed figuing of the myrtlewood :)

i had a 2002 514ce englemann honeyburst, which i liked very much also &
just out of curiosity, i was wondering if you have run across a GA cutaway
that had you thinking 'hmm... i could find a place for this one at the house' ???
it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of cutaways, although I do spend a fair amount of time in the upper extremities of the fretboard. It's just an aesthetics thing with me. I like the symmetry of a non-cutaway. However, The was an R.Taylor with a cutaway, that I would have welcomed into my home if I could have afforded it. I'm also very fond of the all-koa Fall limited. I'd put up with the cutaway on that model...
