Wow, are we seeing a trend here? More straight up acoustics directly from Taylor? I like it!

[Strumming Fool]

It's a nice trend. There are other people like me who like the ES, but also like the clean look of a non-invasive pickup system and the full symmetry of a non-cutaway body. It's a thing of beauty!

noticed some changes to the other series as well

looks like Taylor's following gibson's lead & released some
2017 spec models late this year (the 612 is a 15 model, tho)

there may be changes to the baby series later on ($ drop on TSBT & BBT)

Several dealers on Facebook forums have alluded to lots of news coming from Taylor in 2017 in the form of new and/or revised models, maybe tonewoods, etc. The 12X models were mentioned, but only by street price and form factor. I think there were also rumors of armrest as an option on those models, although that seems a bit "out there".

Winter NAMM is around the corner......

[Jersey tuning]

My custom GC is a nice compromise in the above vein -- No cutaway, ES with no controls (use a V-cable for easy volume adjustment).

i agree that a bevel on the 100 series is a bit much to expect -
there have been LTD models with armrests in the past,
albeit at a $ level a good bit higher than the 100 series

i thought straight up was no cutaway no electronics, but there is a 814ce dlx  on post 1

it's so out of place

yeah, i suppose it is -
if it had a florentine cutaway,
it would be 'fully dressed'

[Godfather]

I am really liking the 814ce DLX only wished it came in a non ce version....I just may take a serious look at em' anyway.
