I did that with my 512ce... anything else I want won't be a Taylor. But if you want a Taylor I might consider:

PS14 with no fret markers or inlay, gloss peghead w/ brw veneer and no inlay, ebony tuner buttons (is this sounding familiar?) Master Grade Englemann top, Master Grade Brazillian Rosewood back and sides, Koa binding for body, neck and headstock (thanks to Lauren for making me drool over that one), abalone triple band "braided" rosette (my own design). No electronics, venetian cutaway.

Why a PS14? If I'm getting something I totally want, I want Bob Taylor's personal stamp of approval too, with a custom, signed label. So there.

But my next guitar is going to be a Santa Cruz. If there is a next guitar. I'm good for the next few years.

Worry less about the guitars you want. Play the guitar you have more.
The answer will come, and it will not be what you expect.

A guitar is a tool, and a friend. But it is not the answer.

It is the beginning.
