2014 Taylor Custom 516e:
A very limited run of 50 guitars to celebrate Taylor's 40th Anniversary. Truly a custom build from the Taylor Custom Shop, the guitar features a beautiful Bearclaw Sitka top, marbled ebony fretboard, stunning flamed mahogany back and sides, ebony arm bevel (a $1K upgrade!), Advanced Performance Bracing, standard 25.5" scale, Expression 2 system, and more. See full specs listed below.
The guitar is in exceptional condition...easily 9.5/10. There are a few very small surface dimples which are too small to photograph, and some very minor pickwear between the pickguard and soundhole. Too minor to photograph, and you would not have known it was there had I not mentioned it here...just want full disclosure on all I see. Previous owner added Taylor pickguard.
Price is now $2500 shipped to your door. These rarely come up for sale, and the only ones I can find at this time are listed in the mid $3K's...so this is a deal. Please PM me for more info or to discuss purchase. Thanks!

These are fantastic guitars! I have the sister model made for MF with Tasmanian Blackwood B/S
Light, loud, FAT, a ton of bass, but balanced.
Best on your sale!
Cheers
Paul :)

Lovely guitar,I love that flamed mahogany back.

I am guessing this sold.

This one should sell to some lucky person. I also have the sister model made for Musician's Friend as a 40th anniversary model. It was my very first Taylor and one which I will never part with. It's that good for all around (picking or finger style).

Sorry I forgot to list this one as "sold" a while back....good to see the interest still abounds, though! This model was an exceptional example of a Taylor guitar. Gonna have to find me another one of these soon...
