Taylor 416ce ES2 Natural Grand Symphony Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Description

This Taylor 416ce ES2 Natural Grand Symphony is a highly versatile guitar from Taylor’s 400 series.

The model features a Sitka spruce top, Ovangkol back and sides (which has a tone similar to Indian rosewood), a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. The Taylor 416ce is no longer manufactured in this configuration.

Equipped with the Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup system, it transmits the acoustic sound of the instrument with harmonious balance and natural dynamics.

The cutaway body makes it easy to play in the higher positions and visually, the grained tonewoods are beautifully accentuated by the thin high-gloss finish and complement the black ebony elements, Italian acrylic dot fingerboard inlays and tortoiseshell pickguard.

This guitar is a much sought after high-end model with a luscious balanced tone with loads of projection and the ES2 pickup system gives it exceptional plugged in sound.

This guitar is pre-loved with only a few marks on the back, as shown in pictures but, overall is in great condition!!

Hard case included.
