wow! sorry!!! my custom had a dimple on the binding, i just looked past it, probably should have sent it back to Eric.

is that pic one that Taylor just shipped in or is it the one with the dimple?

This is the one with the dimple. It never came to me. Eric contacted Taylor upon his examination of it, and they took it back for either repair or replacement. Of course, all is on hold until the factory reopens (non-essential workers per California).

UPDATE: Taylor reopened and successfully repaired the dimple. It is now at Martin Music for some after-market installations. Plan is to ship it to me Monday - should be in my hands a week from today - the long wait is almost over!

That's  called  a western sunburst. It has cooler colors than most bursts. It starts with a medium brown transitioning to tan and then to a beige.

Guitar was delivered about 4:30 PM AZ time. Just letting the case cool down before I open it (104 degrees today)! I'll post an NGD thread once its actually in my hands.....

Ha, that is funny because I have never had to wait for the guitar to acclimate from hot temp, to room temp.  Only from freezing temp. to room temp.

Years ago, I lost a guitar that was shipped to me in the AZ heat. Thankfully it was insured and subsequently replaced. This one arrived with no issues thank God!
