Taylor gs5 equivelant

[jsanfilippo5]

I played a GS5 today in a local guitar center - it was on clearence for $1799 - I was absolutely amazed at this guitars sound, I would have bought it on the spot but the cash isnt there right now.

Anyway, I know this is a discontinued model, so what is a new comparable model to this with the cedar top and mahogony side in a GS body>??

Thanks in advance!!

Isn't the GS-5 now called the 516 ??

Yes, the GS5 is now the 516, but the 516 comes with engelmann spruce instead of western red cedar. It can be special ordered with a red cedar top though.
