I would say The Tree wood is pretty valuable these days..
Ive loved Quilted Mahogany since my best friend bought a 1995 Martin Limited Edition D-40 with it, when it was brand new.
I think its gorgeous wood, and really wanted to get one from The Tree last year, from R Taylor if they had any sets. They actually haven't had any for a while, but when Andy Powers came onboard he had about 6 personal sets that they were getting from him, and they showed them to me..
They weren't anywhere in the dramatic league of the some of the ones shown here unfortunately.. and they STILL wanted $6k just for the wood alone!
I still want one from the Tree.. not at that cost, though... but one that looks as ridiculous like the ones below!
I did find and pick up a used Taylor BTO with Quilted Hog, but it wasn't from The Tree.. It will definately hold me over though!
