2014 712e 12-Fret Fall Limited Edition
« on: September 29, 2014, 06:42:19 PM »
Bought this last week. I was intending to get a Martin 000-18 e Retro but came out of the shop with this.

I will try to post some better shots if anybody is interested. These shots don't really do it justice. They were taken on my phone.

Back and sides are Blackheart Sassafras. Top is spruce. The most amazing balanced sound and really big for a concert size guitar.

This is my first Taylor.

Shine on,
Pat

Very nice!  That's the first 712e-FLTD I've seen with that much sapwood.  I haven't seen one of these Sassafras Fall Limited guitars that didn't have some kind of unique visual character!

Congrats mate! It's the most stunning instrument, I should know, we're brothers in Taylor models, I got mine a couple of months ago! It just sings.
