Wow - that is beautiful. It almost looks like a face in the wood.

Those are two fabulous-looking Taylors. I'm sure they play as sweet as they look.

 

My latest addition:

(Solid Mahogany-Ebony fretboard & bridge. Brass tailpiece. I'm replacing the tailpiece

with an Ebony wood model.

People fall in love with this guitar. The results are in. Bargirls love

it better than my other two guitars. And it looks so sweet in their

laps when they're trying to play it. I'm happy to give lessons too,

more or less free of charge.)

Fred Fartboski:

"Nice! Was that one made by one of your local luthiers?"

 

Yeah. Same guy I usually buy from. Or at least the same shop. With the Kent Armstrong floating p'up, the archtop really kicks *ss. W/the Schallers, it stays in tune extremely well.

 

I'm getting an Ebony wood tailpiece for it pretty soon.

 

BUT..I am not happy about one thing. For some stupid reason, somebody put 2 fret dot markers on the 9th fret! They should go on the 12th fret. It's a real pain too because the fret marker dots aren't just painted on. They're lightly pressed into the bone binding. So you can't just erase one dot and paint one elsewhere. So I had him put 3 dots on the 12th fret. But it's still not right. I'm thinking of having the neck binding pulled and replaced just for these stupid fret marker dots.

 

That's Vietnam for you. They do amazing work with their hands and make stupid mistakes with their heads. Notwithstanding any of that, this is a $1200 guitar easy! I paid $390 including Kent Duncan and Schallers. An Aussie importer ordered 5 just like mine. He is selling them straight from the shop w/o p'ups, w/o pickguards, w/ Korean tuners for $800 USD. He paid $200 each for them. (I paid $250 for mine before the p'up & tuners).

 

He told me they're all sold too. It's the best guitar I've ever bought over here. Action is smooth as silk. It's an awesome archtop.
