ltd usually have more "value" bc to get similar options in a BTO would be more money.
they are all rare, hence the limited name....I guess if you're relatively new to Taylor this would come as a shock.
in terms of not being able to share price, his house, his rules. who cares. if you want to know pricing you can just message vendors here.
to be honest, you can see pricing anywhere bc most authorized dealers are going to bar similar pricing.
Yes, I am pretty new to Taylor. I think I have only owned 20 different Taylors over the last 20 years. I have been playing for 40 years. I currently have a 2012 KOA LTD and 2012 Coco LTD. Neither of those are RARE because both could be purchased BTO. NOT ALL Taylor LTD's are rare. Go look at dealer inventories and you will find many past LTD's over the last couple years sitting in inventory or being sold on Ebay as used ;-). Some have wood combinations that are NOT BTO available (like the 6XX 2013's).
I had two prominent dealers tell me the qty of 6XX's they were getting. My point was two fold. They appear to be a great value and they appear to truly be limited which has not been the case in recent years for many limiteds. I do understand not discussing unpublished pricing. However, mentioning a published "LIST" (not map) price seems harmless but rules are rules.
that's awesome you had 20 Taylor's and you played for a long time, it really is, I'm not being sarcastic.
I guess my point is, in my opinion, ltds are pretty much good bang for the buck. they are more "rare" than production lines, right? yea, you can get some in BTO options, but not at the same price.
I guess you're excited by the 6 series ltd, and if so, it's pretty cool you're trying to give us a heads up on what you think is of value. to me personally, the spring ltds do nothing for me (which like I said before I'm actually thankful for)
to me, I don't see the 6 series ltd to be good value and I could care less if it was rare. then again I'm not a collector and don't plan on buying a lot of guitars
as they say, ones mans trash is another mans treasure
sounds like you should go for the 6xx ltd.
in terms of prices, man I don't know why they don't want to talk about it, but I don't worry about it and I just try to learn things and talk about cool guitars. the guy who created this site took his own time and initiative to get it started from AGF and I think It's pretty cool he did.
even if I don't agree with the rules, I just abide and don't sweat the details.
I'd love to see photos of your guitars and hear your impressions of them bro, no hard feelings
