The guitar will arrive by Thursday morning. I will be posting pics as soon as I have it.

I think you should wait till Christmas morning.  If you have the will power it could make for a very exciting christmas. ;D

You are clearly insane.  ;)

I will be opening it not a nanosecond later than it arrives, haha! Besides, I have to play it on friday night, and sunday morning at events I'm playing for...not to mention the fact that I've been without a guitar for months now. My hands are itching to play a Taylor...to have it be THIS Taylor is something I can't delay any longer than necessary.

I just keep telling myself I just have to get through today...probably won't sleep at all tonight. Tomorrow will be kind of like Christmas in a way!

I have a studio here where I can take pics, video, and record audio as soon as I have it. You will all share in my joy.  ;D

One thing you should keep in mind,  it is best to let the guitar acclimate to the indoor temperature slowly, by that I mean don't open the case till it has had time to warm up.  It is best for the wood.

That is great advice. Thank you, and I will most certainly give it a chance to warm before opening it.

Ok, I have the guitar in hand. The question is should I post bad cell phone pictures, or wait until I get it in the studio later today?

You make the call.  ;D

OK, STOP right there, fella!

First off, you need to start a new thread on this beauty!
Secondly, on this new thread you must post pics that offer some justice to what is clearly drop-dead gorgeous.
Consider yourself warned!...

(actually, I am serious about the pics part ...c'mon, share the love, man!  Oh, and congrats ...wow!  :) ).
