I had one of those Tak D-xx copies. That is a well built guitar. I think if you dropped it the ground would crack. Mine had the 3 piece D-35 style back. I wore the frets off and had them replaced by 'the best luthier in town'. It was never right after that. I traded it for a Yamaha DX-7 synth. Wish I hadn't. I had a Tak 12 string for 10 or so years.
I have three Taylor's.
A 1995 815-C that is my workhorse and sound canon.
A 2004 414-L30 that needs new electronics
A GS Mini eKoa that seems to be the one I reach for in the studio most often, best electronics.
I would trade the latter two for a T5z in a heartbeat.
I've got a glitzy guitar I never play.
