410ce, right? (nice truss rod cover, too, where'd you find that?)

Edit: just searched for the custom TRC, and found the nicholsguitars site.
Edit 2: and then read that he doesn't make them anymore. ah well.

I'm just answering the question.
Hence why I stated my reasoning, saying it isn't based entirely on looks.
Ever seen a good looking guitar that sounded like a shoe box with rubber bands? Not so sexy anymore....well at least to me.

If my answer isn't "valid" enough, then how can there even be a "valid" answer?

I won't deny a Tylor's looks, but they've never stuckout to me. CF Martins on the other hand.

Doubtful, but anyway, just my opinion. I've played them and can't stand the way they sound.

I'm a big fan of my Tay 814 for an acoustic, and i think i'm in love with the looks of Trey's custom electric...that thing is SWEET. It's vintage looking, yet modern, the way he has his volume and tone knobs makes WAY more sense than most guitars, and it's koa :)

Edit: and it has the same geometry as a Fender strat, which i love :)

Edit again: turns out since phish broke up, Paul Languedoc (who made Trey's guitars) has been hand making replicas of trey's current guitar and selling them for $10,000 :shock: I want one.
