Members honeyiscool Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 While I was in the hospital, this was delivered to me, my new Taylor 316CE LTD. This is a Grand Symphony shape koa guitar. She really is one of the beautiful guitars I've ever seen, and the volume and tone are incredible. I haven't had a chance to play her much, but the wood is simply impeccable. I even like the streaky ebony, and the koa is simply stunning. Meanwhile, the spruce top is another thing altogether. I can't get real pics of this, but this is definitely the most special NGD I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted July 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Considering everything they forgot to grab, I think they wouldn't have found this regardless. Still, I'm glad I've got a lovely new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Congrats on a nice guitar that should fit you style well.Nice going on the Koa, adds a little class and methinks likely a nice sparkle to the sound. Just don't go anywhere near a "Worship Service" with it, or your likely to burst into 20 choruses of "Lord I Lift Your Name on High". Srry, just kidding.Enjoy!

Members kayd_mon Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 Koa is one of the prettiest woods used on guitars, IMO. I know nothing of its sound, but Taylors rarely disappoint. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 That is sweet! I am a sucker for Koa as well. Such a beautiful wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warriorpoet Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 Dude, GS Taylors rock. I have been playing the frets off my GS8 for 5 years now with no regrets (other than needing new frets). Special guitar, there. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, now that you mention it, a fake beard could cover the bruised area if wanted. Now, Mister H just needs a friend in the theatrical industry to loan him a fake beard for a few weeks. ...back on topic. HNGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 Very nice. Today I played some Taylors at a local store and I was very impressed. I thought they would be too bright for my tastes, but they sounded very open, soft and projected very well. HNGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flying_Milkman Posted July 28, 2012 Members Share Posted July 28, 2012 That's beautiful, I got a Taylor earlier this year to replace my well used acoustic electric. It's wonderful and plays like a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
