Any Pic's of New 6XX "Macassar" 2013 LTD's?
« on: May 09, 2013, 06:33:49 AM »
I have a 616 pre-ordered Spring Ltd.  I am told it will be Macassar Ebony.  If anyone spots a new Macassar version or takes delivery, can you please post a photo or link?  Of course if mine shows up first I will post photo.  The great "Ebony Switch of 2013" has me very curious.

I had the good fortune to play both 614/616 pre-macassar and I am really curious to "hear" difference if any.

Hi Glen,

That guitar looks phenomenal. But I think it's African Ebony maybe the same guitar shown on this youtube video.

Honestly, I am not sure.  Looks way to linear for African Ebony.  Showed up at Deorio about a week ago. IF it is representative of Macassar.  Wow. If not, still Wow

Just spoke with the folks at Taylor, no pictures yet as the guitars are in manufacturing.  The CS rep said it would be a dark wood, darker than rosewood.

Talked to taylor today in fact. They said each the 614 and 616 is limited to 150 each and they ran out of congo ebony.  Also sais the mascasar are going to fill the gap and thatvitis normally a XXXX upcharge and avail only on bto guitars. Either way pretty great deals with whatever ebony one gets.  Great looking too.
