This one may be another hit for Taylor, especially given the general tenor and feedback on non-Taylor sites I've read.
Witness: the GO did not take off (man you can find those relatively cheap now); the AP bracing was no ground breaker to the marketplace; the revoiced 800s --then 600s-- made some splash but not many non-Taylor folks were smitten enough, and the V-bracing made waves initially, but even the factory had to walk back some of their marketing language. The last serious market boom Taylor made --in my estimation-- was the GSmini, and it still enjoys significant popularity, even with non-T players, which is part of the "real" test of genuine market impact.
So this new dred may be it; time will tell all. I sure as heck don't need one, but as an owner of two Taylor dreds, I sure am eager to try em
