Default BTE jamming on a Taylor. Which one?

Was at a school function last night and Better Than Ezra played! Lots of fun watching their guitarist right in front of me. The lead singer was rocking a Gibson. Looked like an electric dread. This Taylor caught my eye. The finish had that Martin retro look. Much darker than a normal "natural" finish. Anyone know which model this is?

Looks pretty much like a 712 to me.

If it has a darker top, then an older GC7e

Based on the appointments, it looks very much like my 512ce cedar top. But, could be wrong.
