Here's a 2015 limited edition Taylor K16ce in excellent playing condition. This one is definitely among the best used acoustic guitars we've ever seen around the shop -- it is truly something special, with striking aesthetics and a crisp, full and rich tone. Features include a cedar top with shaded edgeburst finish and gorgeous Koa back and sides, a super comfy tropical Mahogany neck with maple-bound ebony fretboard, fantastic-sounding ES-2 electronics, and a whole lot more. This one has an incredibly resonant tonal quality with a tight, articulate low end and sparkly highs that make it suited for everything from strumming to fingerstyle. We like to say that you know a guitar is a winner when you can feel it vibrating in your ribs as you play, and this one definitely fills that criteria -- truly a beautiful, professional-grade guitar that's bound to become your new favorite axe.

It shows a couple light signs of play -- a few very small finish dings/scratches that are barely noticeable and some very minor fretwear that doesn't affect playability (see photos). All in all, this guitar is in excellent shape and will last for many years to come in the right hands. Includes the slightly worn but fully functional original hardshell case.

From Taylor:

This limited edition Grand Symphony pairs the honey-brown hues and rich figure of AA-grade koa with a cedar top. Darker cedar was chosen to match koa’s color tones, and a shaded edgeburst around the entire guitar, including the mahogany neck, adds vintage character. Tonally, cedar’s midrange overtones embellish koa’s natural midrange focus and nicely complement koa’s upper register sparkle. Players will find the personality of this guitar in its thick and warm midrange voice. The Grand Symphony body brings an expressive dynamic range to the playing experience, responding well to a lighter touch, while also expanding the overall depth and tonal output. An elegant appointment scheme features figured maple binding with a matching backstrip, and a fretboard inlay of golden boxwood Split Diamonds. Other details include an abalone rosette, abalone dot bridge pins, an all-gloss body, a Venetian cutaway, Gotoh Gold tuners, and Taylor’s Expression System® 2 pickup for a clear and rich amplified sound.

FEATURES:

• Grand Symphony Body Shape
This strong Taylor strummer produces a rich, bold voice.

• Western Red Cedar Top Wood
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

• Hawaiian Koa Body Wood
Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.

• Expression System® 2 Electronics
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

• Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
