My new 512e TF
« on: June 26, 2014, 06:10:38 AM »
My new 512e TF mahogany/cedar has arrived. This is absolutely a gorgeous guitar. It still surprises me everytime I pick it up and play it. It is the most introvert guit in my stable as far as looks are concerned, but I have the impression that it is by far the most extravert in sound. Boy, beautiful!

This is my first guitar with the ES2 system. All my others have the K&K mini's installed. I was clearly not at all a fan of the predecessors of the ES2, but this thing really works. I plugged it directly into my AER Compact 60 and it again surprised me. Taylor did its homework this time. Wow!

Very nice! I also went w/o the PG on my 512ce. The cedar/mahogany is special indeed.

I be that sounds really nice.  I played one cedar top on my hunt a few weeks ago and was impressed.  I just didn't want to spend that much on a custom guitar.
