...of my 2011 BTO. Man, this guitar sounds better every day! It sits in equal company with my '95 and '97 Taylors...and that's saying a lot. It certainly doesn't sound like them; it's got a vibe all its own. Beautiful to the ear on its own, it also support my vocals in the best way possible. So glad I made the following choices:
non-cutaway GA (what else?) sinker redwood top, ovangkol back and sides, CV Adi bracing, bone saddle/nut, Macassar ebony fretboard /bridge, ovangkol headstock overlay, maple binding/rosette. Gotoh tuners..and now some pics as a reminder:

Wow. What a visually stunning guitar. The wood pairings are awesome. The fretboard is my favorite appointment. The marbling is beautiful and isn't interrupted by fret markers. Looks good on the bridge too. :)
Congrats on your 2 year anniversary.

That is a really beautiful guitar. I love the wood and the grain just pops.

Thanks for all your kind replies. I will say that this BTO experience has served and will continue to serve as a solid foundation for subsequent BTO decisions concerning what to do and what not to do.
