Thanks everyone for your kind comments, and for supporting me through this long saga. I cannot get over how "alive" this guitar sounds, and the sweetness of its tone continues to overwhelm me! Back to some more playing!

Are you happy with the way it turned out?

Most definitely! All these K24s are visually stunning, but I'm more impressed with the tone right now. Some of my acquisitions have tended to grow on me, while others represent love at first hearing - this one belongs to the latter group. Hope you're enjoying yours as much as I am mine!

Sweet, a great ending to your story! Take my top and Susie's bottom and you're pretty close to yours!
that would make it GuitarGirl, or if it were reversed, it would be Taylorsan ;)

congrats, SF & thanks for sharing the pics -
Taylor really came through, imho, not just a month early,
but also a couple of weeks before thanksgiving 8)

another thing to be thankful for this holiday season :)

Very nice, SF!! I like the shaded edgeburst. It does really showcase the amazing wood! Congrats on the  "1 GA per day of the week" collection!  8)

Absolutely beautiful!!!.. and it sounds even better than it looks... awesome.   I hope to join the Koa family one of these days . There are some K24s and K26s I have my eye on at Wildwood. I'm a strummer too,  so now I'm going to go back and look at  your response to Taylor Girl's question regarding GA vs. GS and get your take on that.

According to the Beatles there are eight days a week , so what's your next one going to be?

Congratulations!!!

Did you really HAVE to post these photos? :o

 ;)

Wow, it is absolutely spectacular!!! In fact, everything on the guitar is perfect. ;D

Kudos to Taylor for making this one extra special, and kudos to you for being patient. It's hard enough to wait through the build process so I'm sure it was much more agonizing to go through it a second time. Enjoy, Strumming Fool. :)

Thanks again guys for all your good wishes...she really fits into the pack nicely. I'm truly blessed to have this array of guitars to play the music I love to play.  It's been quite a year for NGDs on this forum...just happy to be a part of it all!
