Taylor's Facebook page describes these as: "The 600 series. Big Leaf Maple back/sides, Sitka top. Check out the new color, Koi Blue and the tobacco sunburst 614ce-N."
-
Whoa, that blue guitar certainly takes me back! Blue acoustic/electrics were all the rage back in the late 90s -- looks like Taylor's anticipating a comeback!
-
Ooooh, nylon!
-
Wow, the 614ce-N looks just like a 614ce.
Nice job, Taylor!
-
That blue is just lovely!
(But I still think the prettiest Taylor top is a plain cedar.)
-
I call the 12 string!! The color orange and 600 series Taylors - two of my favorite things :)
-
thanks for sharing the pic & info, james :)
looks like Taylor has integrated the NS series into the AE steel strings
with a 'N' designation so it will be a 614ce-N, rather than a NS64ce
the koi blue looks more reminiscent in shade (to me) to the 'original' blue stain, also used on the GSLJ

I think this is a good move. It just makes life simpler figuring our shape and wood combos.
-
My favorite is the tobacco sunburst...but I own the standard :'(
-
I'm thinking a Maple might be worth a try...
-
didn't one of the Breedloves have something to do with that first colored Taylor(and wasn't it blue?)?
I didn't see the picture and info with the OP-did it leave?
Oops, never mind, I'm at work and the computers here will not open Facebook-thats probably why the red X is showing.

+1 :D
imho, it's good that most guitars don't have a finish designation,
other than the 'G' (for gloss top) on the current 200 series,
otherwise it might have potentially gotten confusing - 614ce-N(atural) ???
i also noticed that the 614ce-N has the 600 series pearl leaf fretmarkers 8)

Look closer, there is a new 600 series inlay from engraved pearl...

hi daryl,
yep, Larry Breedlove did the work on a blue maple dreadnought with 'flame' rosette in 84 -
color finishes were then available on the original Artist Series in 85 & were offered thru 88 :)
most recently, in terms of finishes on the acoustic & electric guitars, the greatest # of variations are blue ...
me likee ;D
hey B :)
new 600 series inlays ???
zooms in to get a closer look ...
whoa :o
the leaves ('wings') are wider & look, to me, like
a blend of some of the Artist/800 series inlays
very 8)

Is there a drednaught in that group or are my eyes deceiving me?

for some of us, the rage started 9 or 10 years ago ;)

i wondering if this means i have ESPN, or something like that
-
any idea of when pricing will be released?
-

i imagine there are still 610ce & 654ce models not shown in the pic -
i'm reasonably certain the ones shown in the pic are a koi blue 614ce,
natural 616ce, amber 612ce, orange 656ce & tobaccoburst 614ce-N :)
-

i believe some time close to end of next week at Winter NAMM -
there are 2012 600 series guitars that are available now &
a Google search will show a few models, along with MAP prices
-

no your eyes aren't deceiving you... not a single dred in the whole lot... Taylor is more known for their other body sizes/shapes... not that a Taylor dred is a bad thing at all, the other styles I think are just more popular and common

it isn't shown in the pic, but the 610ce will be available as a standard model in 2012 -
the 654ce Grand Auditorium 12'er, however, has been removed from the series
-
Hmmm...I think I'll stick with green. That koi blue does look nice though.
-
The changes induce a bittersweet response in my heart=) I like the look of the new inlay, but then that means my guitars are now "old"=)
Oh well. Got the new W&S in the mail earlier this week and in general, I like the little tweaks made across the board.
-
the pearl leaf inlays had a good run (20 years) &
the 'original' 600 inlays were simply large MOP dots
i also noticed that the blueburst finish option
seems to have been replaced (sigh) by koi blue
change is good & i'm happy with my 'old' 614s too :D
play on ;D

I just recently bought a blue edgeburst T5-C1 and the color is the main reason I bought it!! I will post pics of it this weekend!!
-
Those look really nice. I kind of like the Tobacco Burst, but it is not just on the photo displayed. I love the appearance of mine in real life. I pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming. All of these look really nice :)

that is a very nice looking T5 & thanks for the pic :)
the figuring of the maple top is so tightly flamed,
i would describe it as being 'silked' maple ... very 8)
