NGD - Taylor 2015 514ce LTD
« on: February 13, 2016, 08:04:57 PM »
Picked up a new 2015 514ce limited  today.   Here are some pictures of it.   Very happy with this particular guitar.   Very nice tone, and amazing playability.  I would do the standard description, but figure its better just to answer questions and let the pictures do the talking.  My pictures are first and the dealer pictures are second.

Full Front (Bad light, but decent)

Yes it is Sapele.  I am surprised by the tone, it sounds like a rosewood and not like a mahogany tone wood.

Man that whole top looks so classy!
That creamy topwood and ebony contrasts beautifully; and with a Florentine cut, it's just gorgeous!  The gotohs are icing.  Veeeerry nice, enjoy!!  :D

Many congratulations - that's a very pretty guitar.  I loooove the Florentine cutaway - it doesn't always work, but on your guitar it absolutely works!  Looking forward to seeing your own pics...

Here are some of the updated pictures.  I took them in a hurry and did not get a good front with the fret board in focus, but otherwise nice phots.

Thanks.  I am curious if anyone has any knowledge or expertise concerning the difference tonally between quilted and standard sapele.  I have read that quilted is softer possibly due to the way it is cut compared to mahogany and sapele and thus sounds different.   This guitar does sound quite different that any of the other Taylors I have played with sapele.
