Very nice!

Thanks. It's actually even nicer in looks and tone than I'd hoped for...

Yes, I know what you're saying. It is so hard to capture the true beauty of Taylor guitars in pictures.

Beautiful guitar! I have yet to play a lutz topped 700. In the past, my favorite 700 was EIR with a cedar top, which responded warmly to my fingerstyle touch. Now I'm itching to try one like yours!

Wow, what a great looking guitar! I am sure it sounds even better. Congrats jrporter, nice addition to the family. I hope to try one at the roadshow this month just to see (hear) what all the excitement is about.

make sure you try the roadshow limited 714 CE, and you could buy it!

I agree the cedar and EIR make for an excellent combo.  It lends itself to fingerstyle nicely.
