610CE LTD
610CE LTD
Just this last morning bought a 610 CE LTD. Got it for a MASSIVE reduction from our local dealer. Must admit I thought the last thing I would want would be a Maple Dreadnought, How wrong can you be. It's quite quiet but very well balanced and a joy to finger pick. Anyone else got one? It's a 2002 Sept Manufacture. Is that revoiced? Seems to have a thick top and forward shifted very light bracing. The natural flame maple is visually stunning. I'll pos pics shortly. Al  Big Baby, 314 ce, 610 ce Ltd. (That was fun)

Good choice and getting a good price that's great.
I took delivery yesterday as well and so far an very pleased with my 610. Did you get a cutaway or not. Mine is no cut and has the ES ( still not sure about that) but I really like the way it sounds recorded. I was able to dial in a good setting on the recorder and played some tracks using the 610 for Rythum and bass (ie thumbpicked a rytum track) then layers some nice melodic lead tones on top , first with the dread and then with me relatively new 614. Then I played them back one after the other passage for passage and for the first time was able to discern the subtle differences between the to maple guitars . Amazingly they have the same flavor and tone but one sounds a little thicker 610 ) and the other slightly thinner and tad more sparkle) They both have original equipment strings which is think are Elixer Nano's and If Im not mistaken the dread has 13's and the GA has 12's , This might explain the slightly thinner sound from the GA. All in all I may be redundant here but the guitars are both so excellent I do not think I will part with either. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I am . Later
