Default NGD - 2015 514ce LTD

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 dealer pictures are second. My pictures are not the best but I was in a hurry.

Full Front (Bad light, but decent)

These are the dealer pictures which are fairly good, but I will take some of my trademark outdoor photos when it gets above 25 here.

Strange, this guitar has virtually the same specs as your 514e FLtd 2013. Don't they sound the same?

Oddly no not at all. This one has more bass punch and different harmonics. I think the quilted Sapele sounds more like a rosewood than a Mahogany and the Sitka too is a really nice specimen that appears to be stiffer in the center than the perimeter and has more cross silking than I have seen on any guitar in person. If I could have had both I would have but needed to sell the 2013. A great deal presented itself on this one. Funny how things work out.

EXCELLENT! I love the Florentine cutaway as it really flows with the overall guitar shape and the curly mahogany is stunning! Enjoy!

I do like the Florentine cutaway. The quilted Sapele is practically three dimensional.

I've seen several of these and yours is the absolute MOST striking and magnificent one I've seen bar none! That top has incredible silk and almost ADI -like grain. The quilt is stunning too. And the overall design is a work of art. SUPER Congrats!
