I like the looks of the plain textured top better.

What's the neck profile on 2078Ts (and other US-made Ts)? Do they have a "V" shape?

I love these. Does this guitar belong to a member here?

More like a "Deep C" shape.
It is deeper that my 6778LX, but that has a 5-piece neck.
Those are just 2078T's that they grabbed off of the line and installed the Koa.
This one is number 357, mine is 356.
But the other Sweet T numbers have big gaps between them.
I believe that my 1778T neck was thinner, but I don't have it to do a side-by-side any longer.
My Sweet-T feels the same as my 2078T-? does.

Contrary to the listing, I believe that there were only 16 of these made...
And only 12 were Contour bowls, the others were 1778T's.

The inlay is a Like-It-or-Hate-It thing... But that looks well worth the price.
I would grab it if I didn't already have one. Thanks Brad (Slipkid)

Yeah... those are nice.
Every once in a while I do miss it.

OK...so what happened to the "buy it now for $599" button on this auction?

Someone bid on it. Makes the BIN go away.

I sure hope this guitar bids up quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to help myself. In otherwords, I think I need others to help save me from me. I already have a 1778T (Orange Flame Model) and it is so easy to play. But it's on permanent loan to my nephew. So that makes room for another guitar...right?

I didn't realize that placing a bid deleted the BIN feature. So this means that the seller can actually receive more than their original BIN price? That's very interesting.

Originally the BIN program was your opportunity to get a Deal.
I think that should go up to $700 or beyond.

Back before the economy went down the crapper I always made more than my BIN's.
Some cheapskate would bid to try to steal a deal, when a real auction would show the guitar's true worth.
I hope that this guy cleans-up! :cool:
