Default Custom BTO Pictures!

Just thought it would be cool to post some pictures of guitars purchased through the BTO program only. This would give everyone a look at some cool options if they have never experienced the pleasure of ordering a custom Taylor. So if you have some cool pictures, please post them here. I'll post pictures of my new GS once it comes in. Thanks!

I received an all mahogany GC about six weeks ago. Try as I might I haven't found time to take a few pictures as I've been too busy playing it.

The irony of this situation is that I'm a photographer!

Oh, it sounds like it was made of carboard. Just sick....

It sounds like East Indian but a little less bloomy. I've had her and been playing her a lot since May of 2009.

Hang on, let me pull up a recording.

MD - is that a "coco-koa"? (very small joke...)

Here's my BTO all mahogany GS 12.. Appointments the same as the 2005 512/4ceL10s.

Oooohhh hoooo. You finally got it.

Man, that is some nice Mahogany.
You gotta play somethin and record it for us. I'm dying to hear how an all Mahogany 12 string guitar sounds.
