I just got back from playing one at the music store. It plays magnificantlly, although the bass kinda sounded like butthole. Harmonics were a little bit more tricky to pull off than on a regular taylor but rang out much louder. It sounds fairly decent acustically, kinda like a really quiet 414, but doesnt come alive until you plug it in. IMO the chet sounds alot better, but it really is a different kind of instrument. I must say though, I tried my hardest to get the thing to feedback and was unsucessfull so it would make an excellent gigging guitar if you have a bazillion dollars lying around.

I played one at a Guitar Center in Pitt before the show yesterday! I was extremely surprised that it had the tones it did while unplugged. I thought it had a good response and was easy to play. I didn't get a chance to plug it in, but acoustically it sounded really good for a guitar that thin. I mean it's about as thin as my strat...and that's saying something.
