Hey all, this is my first post in the new forum, glad to see this site up and running. I have (dumb) question - I own (4) Taylors, and I recently purchased a 2005 512ce-L10 fall limited edition (all hog). It is a great guitar - but I don't know what the "L10" stands for - can anyone help me out?
Fun fact - I found out from Taylor that only 88 of these were made!
Thanks for the help!

I don't have the answer to your question, but I have one of the '05 514ce-L10's, and I love that guitar! Simply wonderful.
I'm sure that run of 88 is just of the 512's, and doesn't include the 514's...?

Welcome to our little community!!! I'd love to see pics of it!

I'm certainly not certain ;) but I think I read that "L" meant 'limited' and the number is the variation or iteration of that limited.
But I don't think they necessarily went L1, L2, L3...., I think some numbers were skipped.
There was a discussion of this at AGF, but I have no idea what the search terms would be.

hi sstaylor58
good to see you here
WELCOME !
congrats on the 512ce-L10 :)
these were very similar in aesthetics to the 96 512-m, but with a
dark mahogany stain, deeper body, Standard II bracing & NT neck ... very cool 8)
i don't recall a specific reason for the L10 designation, as there were
L1 thru L6s in 03, L7s in 04, short scale 510/710 L9s, L30s (also in 04) -
it could just be a internal 'project #', similar to the 'CV' designation ???
wish i could be of more help, but that's all i know :-[
imho, the spring 700LTD madagascar models were exceptionally nice as well :o
we hope you enjoy this place & please make yourself comfortable :D

Thanks all for the comments. And yes, the 88 was just for the number of 512's. It is a great guitar, can't below how loud it is and it is a great strummer even though it is supposed to be for fingerstyle. Not sure how to post a pic, haven't done it before - thanks again for the replies!

cool 8)
i have a friend who has a 514cL10 & i put in a LR Baggs iMix in it, which he was using to play at
assemblies while he was at school (for a few thousand people at a time) ... he really likes the L10 :D
if you have a pic already on your computer, it can be attached most easily in a post -
it may be easier to copy the pic into a new file on your desktop, as it will most likely
be easier to find, or if it is still on a memory card or in your digital camera hooked to
a USB cable, as those locations should 'pop up' without having to search for them
click 'attachment & other options' on the left below the text box & click on 'choose file' -
a window will pop up, find the location of your pic, double-click on the pic & wait for it to upload & once it's
done (you can upload up to 4, with 192K total), click 'preview' to see if everything looks good, then 'post' :)
one can also post bigger pics & a greater # of pics per post by using a photo
hosting site suchas imagur, flickr, webshots, snapfish, photobucket etc ...
hope this helps & i'm glad you're happy with your 512ceL10 - it sounds very nice :D
play on ;D
