Need a little input on if I should go w/the 614ce Builders or the 517e Builders.. I noticed the 614ce Builders is a GA..I also noticed that they also have a GP on the 614ce.. I love the way my 327e GP plays and sounds..However ..it feels a bit cheap..I am headed in the direction of Maple.. as well as a Dread..If the 614ce is all everyone says it is :) Please help me decide...Thx ahead of time..

Well, only you can decide which body style you prefer.  But, if it were me and I already had a 327, there's no question that I'd go for the 614.  The body type and tonal profile are going to be so different from what you already own.

Thx for the input.. I think the 614ce Builders is what Im leaning towards..You say you "had" 327e.. evedently they make it in two tone woods.. I have the Tasmanian blackwood,back and sides/mahogany top..I was not aware they make all mahogany 327e..
