Default 90's Taylor's

For example, you will notice that the neck is carved out of a single block of wood and is not three pieces glued together. Also, 1995 Taylors came with the famous pink poodle case that was actually made by Taylor at their El Cajon factory. To me, modern Taylors are great guitars, but the 1990s are becoming the golden era for Taylors.
There have been numerous threads here about the subject. My personal take on it is that it's not so much the change to the NT neck design, but a concious design choice aimed at changing Taylor's signature sound.

Plus you get to say that you have a "Pink Poodle Case" . It's just fun to say.....

Just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it.
