Title: WTB Taylor 516e 2013 Fall LTD
Post by: smorris101 on January 12, 2019, 03:30:59 PM: I am looking for one of these 516e LTDs from 2013 for sale but they seem pretty rare. Anyone have a line on where to find one of these?

Thanks,

Steve

How come you got rid of it? I've been thinking about a 514 version instead but I think I want the extra bass and volume that the 516 model would have. How was the volume and bass on yours?

Post by: Strumming Fool on January 14, 2019, 07:24:48 AM: I sold it to build a custom Taylor. However, the bass and volume were just fine. The guitar was also quite balanced and the tone was a beautifully refined version of the best that a spruce/mahogany guitar can offer.

Steve,
I have a 514e LTD I've been thinking about selling. PM me if you are still interested.

There was a good story in the "ASIA" Guitar Maker Magazine about this log. This guitar is really responsive to how much body contact you have when you play it. I don't think I have ever played a guitar that can have such tone variability based on how hard it rests on my gut.

Manzguitar, is there a link to that article? I'd love to read that story!
