Default 2014 526 First Edition

My local music store has one of these right now for $1500. I am thinking about buying it. I can't decide though. Keep my 2013 616ce or sell it and get this. Decisions decisions!

Are you dissatisfied with your 616?

I have a 2014 526ce , not a 1st Ed....but it is one of my best sounding guitars. I'm assuming it is used since retail on it is about 2200...

It's brand new. Still has the plastic on the pick guard. They have a 514ce for $2200.

Not a dilemma, buy it! Charge it if you don't have the money, and keep your current guitar! I usually don't advise people to buy things they can't afford, but I never advise people to sell their guitars, that's something you'll regret.

I think I feel the same way, actually. Or tell me where it's at!

I have the money for it. I'm just debating if I actually want another mahogany guitar. I do like that my 324 and 616 have totally different sounds.

If you can get a brand new 526 for 1400 dollars that's a no brainer. BTW, where's this at....lol

If you're not going to get it, PM one of these guys so they can!

I'm happy with my guitar, but that's a hell of a good price!

I'd jump all over it. Heck, my two 524 First Editions have somewhat different tones, and they're sequentially numbered...

Add me to the list of those that would like to know where this unicorn is. I would like to add some mahogany to the collection.

I think I am going to hold off on it but if someone here wants it let me know. I called and talked to the guy and it is listed at $1599 and we might be able to get it out the door at that price. I deal with them a lot so they usually help me out. Obviously there will be shipping charges.

If I didn't already have a 2014 526ce I'd be all over it... no reason to have two though...
