Building your signature model
Just a thought and I know we have covered building your dream guitar but if you had to build a signature model that represented you what would it be. The JWSM would be:
Presentation grade Koa back and sides 14C Red Cedar Top, Koa binding , Koa 1/2inch rosette,Koa bound fretboard, no fret markers,no electronics, Koa overlay and underlay headstock,Taylor headstock logo embossed in gold mirror then headstock polished, Gold Imperial tuners and strap buttons, no pickgaurd, 1 11/16 fat neck,polyweb strings. Case- USA built, diamond back rattlesnake covered, blue plush interior. What does it say about me? I dont know! JW

OK. I’ll bite.
The JGSM would be available in either gloss ovangkol or Indian Rosewood. Mahogany would be a special order. Top would be Engemann spruce stock, Adirondack red spruce available on request. The JGSM would be a modified grand auditorium body, just a bit bigger, call it a small jumbo. It would be braced for medium strings. No fretboard markers. Mahogany neck 1 3/4 width, Rosewood neck and body binding. Koa or bloodwood rosette. Select ebony fingerboard and bridge. Bone saddle and nut would be stock. Ebony bridge pins. Gold tuners with ebony buttons. No endpin or strap buttons unless special ordered. No cutaways or electronics unless specially ordered. Case would be USA made, same brown exterior but with a deep orange/rust plush. The truss rod cover would have a triquetra symbol on it (which happens to be my tattoo) Hey you asked…  Note: The specifications for the JGSM are subject to change, possibly daily.

Ok, if you've seen my posts, than you already know that I kind of already have my signature model Taylor. I was able to get all but a few options. But here goes:
2001 Taylor 714 w/added options- -Florentine cutaway -3pc back -900 series rosewood(unless some A-stock BRZ can be found!) -Western Red Cedar top -Gloss ebony headstock overlay -Slotted diamond inlay(a la pre-2001 500 series) -Ebony buttoned Schallers -LR Baggs Duet II pickup system -Abalone rosette If you've seen the pics of my guitar in the gallery, then you know how close I came to getting all my options. I ordered it about 6 months too late for the custom shop to make it a reality. All I'm missing is the abalone rosette, ebony headstock overlay, diamond inlays, and the Schallers(although I'm happy with the Grovers). This was as close as you can get to a custom shop 2001 Taylor! -Mike
