One more hint? I think it is not possible to give any more hints without actually telling you what it is, however: It is a custom model and its wasn't made in the USA

Last clue:
It could be one of these:
Taylor, Atkin, Altamira, Faith, Martin,Takamine, Tanglewood, National or Ovation
They all have an "a" and a "t"

Well, using my powers of deduction, we can rule out Taylor and Martin (you said it wasn't USA made), plus National and Ovation (never known either of them to use wood for back and sides let alone Madagascar rosewood!)
I suspect not Tanglewood as I'm not sure they do custom models, neither do Faith.
I suspect, given the very traditional OM scale length (644) that it is probably either an Atkin or a Takamine. However, you did say, very deliberately, that it had a "T" and an"a" on the headstock.
So, the only possibility left is a Takemine !!
(Oh, I left out Altamira because I've never ever heard of them!)

Wonder if anyone can get the model. Based on Takamines naming system I'm not sure anyone will!

Wonder if anyone can get the model. Based on Takamines naming system I'm not sure anyone will! I am not even sure of the model number myself yet. I think it is a SA700 series that has been used as the basis for a custom order. According to the shop it was a special custom order. I will check the serial number with Takamine and see what info they can give me.
