Taylor LTD GS Mini E in Koa...Now with a picture!
 After having sold a crazily over-valued and much sought after pedal (Klon Centaur) owned more or less jointly by my best friend and me, we decided to split the geetus and buy ourselves some new musical gee-gaw. I was looking at several things but nothing had grabbed a hold of me as yet when I began helping a young musician cousin of my wife in selecting the right guitar to take on his cross country tours. I had him play several of mine to gauge both his playing style and ability. He's basically a finger picker who accompanies himself singing new "americana" type stuff (think Avett Brothers). After this assessment I told him that what I'd recommend was an all mahogany Taylor GS Mini with electronics. It also comes in a rugged Taylor travel bag which would be perfect for his vagabond musical adventures (he mostly lives in his van). He had no clue as to what that was so I inundated him with YouTube videos and reviews and even sent him out the local GC to try them out. Unfortunately while looking at all these Minis I happened to see a Fall Ltd edition GS mini E in Koa that was one of the most stunning looking guitars I've ever seen. Dern. And it was at the same price as what I'd just made on the Klon. Dern. All it took was a simple phone call to Willcutt Guitars in Kentucky and the prize was mine. Delivered on Friday and played all weekend. Wow. Wowwy Wow Wow! Simply amazing. If you have not tried one of these I strongly suggest you do. Or don't...you'll soon be out $700. Dern. Scroll down to Craig's post below to see pic...

Congrats! I had my eye on that one as I loves me some Koa.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Welp, I tried inserting an image in the OP but all I see is a little picture icon. I uploaded the pic to PhotoBucket and copied the url. Guess someone will have to splain it to me very slowly and carefully as I am a dimbulb.

I think you've accidentally copied the page URL instead of the image URL (you have to open the image up in its own window and copy that URL). This one's a bit trickier than normal. Good looking guitar though! Here's your image:
