Thanks Redwood - me too! I love the fact that they inlayed the logo in maple rather than MOP - not available in the BTO program for acoustic steel strings (believe me, I've tried!)

I thought the green heart abalone "Taylor" on this one was special along with the Macassar Ebony bound with Coco.

I think there are few things more classy or more elegant that a well-done slotted headstock ...and Taylor certainly does theirs well.  Gorgeous!

Ahh, the Liberty, yes?  That is one of my all-time favorite headstocks and whole-guitar-inlay work ever.  There are plenty of other guits with lots of "bling," but the Liberty offers detail that inspires awe in me.

Finally got around to editing and uploading some pics, so I thought I'd include an entry here.

First, the 2011 916ce:

And then the '08 GS custom with the cocobolo overlay...:

I really like the TRC. Is that original or did you add that?

It's not mine... (yet! I need one!) I believe it's just the standard sitka/rosewood 12-fret.
2005 Taylor 210 (sitka/sapele)

This one is from a K24. Love the simple elegance of the koa vine and flowers inlay. The wood inlay for the Taylor logo is nice too.
