Title: Looking for a Taylor G&L SOLD
Post by: retrieverbeliever on February 06, 2017, 11:00:14 PM
Hello All!

I'm trying to find a 514ce or a 614ce in mint condition.
I guess I'd be OK with a 512 or 612 if the 12 indicates the number of frets.
Would also consider a T5z pro-

I have a couple of really nice guitars to trade-

2006 Takamine ESF 48-C Santa Fe in drop dead mint condition-
New G&L Legacy Special hard tail, honey burst top, maple fretboard-15/20 minutes play time.

G&L SOLD, still looking for the acoustic-
Would really really be interested in a mint condition T3B if there's one out there!
Thanks!


Thanks very much!

i don't have a line on a 514ce or 614ce F/T,
but a little more info might be helpful -
is there a specific year model 5/614ce you're looking for (?), as the 514ce
varied (neck joint, appointments, electronics, bracing pattern & tuners)
from 96-97(c), 98-00, 01-02, 03-06, 07-11, 12-13, 14-15 & 16

the 614ce went through several changes too -
96-97(c), 98-00, 01-02, 03-06, 07-11, 12-14, 15-current

the 1 & 2 in the 512 & 612ce models designate non-hardwood top
six string (1), grand concert body shape (2), 14 fret being standard

https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/612ce (https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/612ce)

the 512ce & 612ce models have gone through more changes
than the 514ce & 614ce, as they've been around before 96 -
among them, being the body contour, body depth & scale length

the 12 fret models have not been around as long (starting in 09, as LTDs,
then specialty models, being added to the numbered series starting in 13) -
14 512ce 12 fret
https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/512ce-12-fret-2014 (https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/512ce-12-fret-2014)
14 712ce 12 fret
https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/712ce-12-fret-2014 (https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/712ce-12-fret-2014)

current
512ce 12 fret
https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/512ce-12-fret (https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/512ce-12-fret)
612ce 12 fret (the 612ce 12 fret began in 15, if i recall correctly)
https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/612ce-12-fret (https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/612ce-12-fret)

imho, a bit more specificity in which year models will be considered
will hopefully help someone, if they are interested in doing a trade -
good luck with your search :)

Are you looking to trade only?  If not what is your budget?  That might help too. 

Nice bunch of facts, Michael!

Best on your quest!  I love my 97 514c but am not playing it much due to my RTs...

Cheers

Paul

You might want to familiarize yourself a little better with Taylor nomenclature before proceeding. The "12" in the 512 and 612 refers to the body size (Grand Concert) and not the number of frets. The "14" in the 514 and 614 make them Grand Auditorium models...
