So I've seen the new Taylor uke. It is a Tenor. They are going to be a "Builders Reserve" item, so low numbers, didn't say how many but rumors are only 25. They are paired with a custom GS Koa Taylor. The ukes are 100% built by hand by Andy Powers. Didn't mention the neck joint, but from the sounds of it it's got a more traditional neck joint instead of Taylor's normal bolt on neck.
Also from the sounds of it, the uke that Taylor Swift was seen playing earlier this year was a Taylor (the one with a diamond sound hole). They said they built 3 prototypes, 2 went to Taylor, the other one to Bob Taylor.
It is very cool looking. It's going to be big money, from what I've heard I'd guess around $14k for the set street price, maybe more.
I'd post photos, but don't know if that would be cool with Taylor as they only sent the photos and info to dealers. I'll get some photos and playing time at NAMM
