Oh man. Great description, great photos, and... great playing and singing! Well done!

I keep going back and forth between this model and the 15 series Martins in terms of what I want next -- chalk this review up as a big plus in the Taylor column!

Congrats on the new guitar -- it looks and sounds great. Enjoy!
i got rid of my D15M a few months ago... just couldn't get the lowers strings to liven up. just sounded too dull on E and A.
plus it didn't have the added benefit of a Yeti living in it !  :o :o :o :o :o :o

Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing.  I have one of these on order, except I went with the optional Western Red Cedar top.  Can't wait!  It should be here by the end of this month.  Happy playing!

Thanks again y'all  :)

My daughter came home (from college) for a visit this past weekend. She is eyeing my new 522. What am I to do ... I told her she could take it if she promised to care for it properly. Didn't have that one for long.  :'(

@hoosierpicker: I'll bet your new guitar is gonna be a good one! Congrats!

mgap, could you please share how your cedar/hog 12 fret GC sounds? I've been unable to play either an all hog GC or a cedar/hog GC, let alone a 12 fret model in either wood combination.

The cedar had significantly more overtones than the mahogany and felt like it sustained more, but in the end the all mahogany 12-fret won out for me. I like my cedar topped 514ce (loved it when I first heard and bought it), but this smaller all hog guitar is soooo playable and has such a warm sound without the overtone clutter of the cedar in the smaller size. Even though it's a smaller body with the hog top, it's impossible for me to overdrive even with a heavy pick.
