Anyone own the same/similar guitars?

Hmmm...Then I guess an engelmann/maple with adi CV Bracing would be a winner.

imho, i think it would be

also, the older 600s (thru 00) had a mahogany neck -
whether or not there is a distinct audible difference or not, i believe
there could  be something there (perhaps, a bit of warmth/sustain)

i'm seriously thinking about A/B'ng this (2000 410MA) to a 09 GSceLTD-MA (adi CV), just for kicks

adi/macassar ...
i all but pulled the trigger on that combo, but there were some very minor details that are
still kind of 'hanging' & it is getting very difficult for me to justify putting that much $
into wood upgrades & little else ... we'll see what happens   (it probably won't, which is fine)

Does the 516 and the GS Mini count?  When I get my 12 string it is going to be the GS body, seems there's a trend in my guitar stable.....

I have four Taylor GS series guitars,  a GS-6e, GS-8e,  716ce and K26ce  similar guitars, different materials.   All sound great.

Actually, I'm not leaning to maple because the Pelican has maple-like properties with added warmth and complexity. I've owned maple guitars before, and with one exception, they bored me with their one-dimensional sound. I respect the role they play in one's arsenal, but they're not for me....

I'm thinking more of an Adi/Macassar and/or a cedar/rosewood (not sure of which species yet)...

Despite their beauty, I usually find maple guitars to be disappointing when I play them. I have come across exceptions, however, and often the exceptions are quilted maple guitars. A factor may be that quilted maple is flat-sawn which I think yields more flexible pieces.


A combination I've always wanted to try is a cedar/quilted maple Taylor but I doubt I'll ever come across one.

Never seen one like that.  It would be interesting to hear one.

Ok so, I have similar yet different models, here ya go.
