Talked to a friend at Taylor, its painted, like a super metal flake, shouldn't hurt the sound to much.

Todd, you're right. The kid is really talented, especially I think as a writer. He music has a very strong teen-appeal. She's money in the bank for the record company, and she seems genuinely sweet and unspoiled from the interviews I've seen of her. Given time, her voice will warm up and she'll do very well in the country/pop music industry as a mainstay.

[QUOTE=Hesh]I'm wondering, since this is flamed, figured, etc. what is the difference in using this top over curly Redwood?
[/QUOTE]

It's a hardwood.

Not sure about the bottom, but I think the low end response is good...

Yep, great combo, curly top and a well figured bottom never fails to be easy on the eye.

Cheers

James, I'm on the straight and narrow these days. My beloved may be 8,500 miles away, but I'm being a good, good boy... Actually, according to her (and I'm getting used to the idea), I now live in Tasmania, but I spend a lot of time in the 'States on business...

Anyway Lita and Joan warped my taste as a teen and I never grew out of liking best the girls with guitars that have aggressiveness.
