Im a big fan, I love the maple Taylors , They sound great! Love my 2004 615ce L7 I sold it for a year and bought it back. I've had many Maple Taylor and have to say Taylor does maple right!
The large body of the jumbo will give you the wanted deep bass .
The maple is bluesy in sound with less after ring of like rosewood counter parts, a very fundulmental in sound,, quick to play beacuse of the quick decay, But I am taken by it's resonances. it actaully does.
You can jam on maple with out waiting for all the eco and long resonances happinging,
I can't.. not include a Maple in My Taylor collection and The 615ce does it for me.
I think maple is a wouderful tone wood and is very under rated.
think the underrating come from its a common wood found in th USA, that may be abundent.
The flamed maple or curly/fiddle back cuts will produce a more bright and crisp tone vs the quilted cuts being warmer in toneand slightly muted.
You must have a Maple Taylor in your collection you will dig it's down to earth sound. Here's 2 pictures of the back of the 04 Fall Ltd L7.
