What I think will happen (I have no clue):
- I think they'll simplify their lineup somehow, possibly moving the acoustic series in with the acoustic/electric series and using the tried and true three-digit number system.
- I think we'll see at least one new body shape, possibly as many as three. Won't be surprised if this/these start out as limited models and join the regular lineup next year.
- Acoustic amps. Probably still limited in some form but slightly more available and affordable than the Builder's Reserve series.
- Ukes. Still limited but a more affordable run for Spring Limiteds.
What I hope will happen:
- I'd love to see a 12-fret Grand Concert model available in all series configurations, including 300 and 400 series.
- I'm still curious about the updated dreadnought model that has been hinted at in recent Wood&Steel issues (deep body? bracing changes?).
- Wouldn't mind seeing the 500 series moves to an aesthetic similar to 700 series with optional honeyburst/edgeburst.
- I'd be a big fan of slotted headstock and sunburst options for custom 300/400 series orders.
- And last but definitely not least, I'd really love for Taylor to update their website to something cleaner, crisper, and simpler (more along the lines of what they had prior to the current version)
