Yep, all the guitars I'm posting are my own. I went on a "guitar bender" for a few years there and wound up with a lot of amazing stuff. The bright side is that they're all worth more than I paid, some a LOT more.
It's a fun guitar for me, personally, simply because it puts a ton of stuff in my vocal range, just playing the chords as they normally would be played for a guy who isn't a bass. ๐
I certainly wouldn't buy it as a first guitar, or even a first acoustic, but as a tool in the shed it makes far more sense to own than the multiple dual humbucker, maple topped guitars I own. ๐ค
They REALLY shine in the hands of the right player (not me so much ๐) as a solo instrument. You have to figure, that octave D string is only one step below the high E on a standard acoustic, so sonically it's really only gaining.
I've heard some excellent recordings done with these. Listening, you don't really notice it's a baritone until you actually think about how to play what you're hearing and realize it's lower than a standard guitar will go.

@geoffduncan I also like the Taylor brightness, so we all have our tastes. I find it a lot easier to roll brightness off in a recording or go to warmer strings, than I do to create it in an instrument that doesn't have it.
