Inspired by the shores of Hawaii, the Pipeline depicts a circular wave fret marker design. The models also include a 3-ring koa fishbone rosette and Indian rosewood binding. Each of the 500 Series Limiteds is topped with Sitka spruce.
Two all-mahogany electric models also join the Fall LTDs: the SolidBody Classic SB-X-LTD and the T3/B-LTD.
On the SolidBody Classic, the neck and body were milled from the same mahogany boards to create a visual match. Both models include a traditional mahogany stain and vintage alnico humbuckers. For the Classic, the humbuckers are set against a parchment pickguard, while parchment binding outlines the T3/B-LTD. A Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and brilliant chrome hardware adorn the T3 for “a look that screams electric, vintage and cool, ” Taylor says.

Each of the Fall Limiteds comes with Taylor’s Expression System pickup and a hardshell case, at the following suggested retail prices: 516ce-LTD, $3,998; 514ce-LTD, $3,998; 512ce-LTD, $3,898; 510ce-LTD, $3,798; T3/B-LTD, $3,298; and the SB-X-LTD, $2,298.
