Awesome! That's a nice one -- enjoy. If I get another Taylor it will be a no-cutaway 12-fret.

Is that a new label I see inside the guitar? Looks like they're personalizing the BTO labels. Good move if so.

Stunning!
I seldom see a maple BTO, congrats!

I think this is the first time I see a 12 fret Taylor with standard headstock...love it!
BTO option only?

BTW, if anybody has 2012 BTO Excel, could you pm me my way?

I was blown away when Taylor contacted me earlier today and asked if they could feature it on their Facebook page..
And then they did!

Went up yesterday. I'd like to see Taylor do this more often -- feature outgoing BTO guitars on either their website or Facebook page (or both).

Fabulous, just fabulous! I'll bet that it sounds similar to a Lowden F35 I used to own with a european spruce top and quilted maple back and sides. My only reason for parting with it was Lowden's typical clubby neck growing a bit uncomfortable for me - but I loved its sound - one of the best maple guitars I ever heard. Enjoy your new baby- congrats!

Stop.....don't stop......stop......don't stop! You're killing me.....and I just got my 812ce a month ago.  I am really drawn to blonde guitars anyway.  Until I saw your pictures, I had my GAS totally under control...really....I did.  Now it's coming back and it's your fault! 

Your new 12 fret is just a knockout,  just stunning.  Personally, I love the look of maple and its clear note separation and tone.  I almost went the maple route, but really wanted a little different tone, although I like the sound of maple. The maple on yours is just gorgeous. We've all seen some really special maple coming out of Taylor but I think yours has raised the bar.

Anyway, I congratulate you on your excellent taste and specs!

I really don't need another guitar.....really, I don't.

You know Go Navy I have read on this forum a firmly agree with it" You can not stop the onset of GAS" we all get it when we see beautiful guitar like the Maple beauty.

Navy.. Im just "passing GAS".. Lol... It was done to me with quilted maple, and I am now paying it forward.. The Englemann is really sweeter than expected .. And it actually cost less than you might think.. There's always room for one more, if you love it, I say go for a build!
