Back in the day, Taylor made special edition Baby Ts. Yeah, back/sides in rosewood, koa, maple ...all lams, mind you, but still great eye candy. They never got popular, likely because of the model itself. But the fact that they did it indicates the thinking is there. Given the GSm popularity, I would not be surprsie me one bit that "upgraded" features/aesthetics are on the horizon, if not already in the works.
