FS: 2016 Taylor 458e Rosewood Back/Sides - SOLD
« on: February 27, 2018, 02:07:15 PM »
This is one beautiful looking and sounding 12-string guitar but arthritic fingers make it difficult to play for too long. Sure, I could hang onto to it and pull it out occasionally but I'd just as soon pass it on to a home where it will stay outside the case and sing. It's in excellent as-new condition as is the OHSC hardshell case. Comes from pet-free/smoke-free home. SOLD

Taylor’s Grand Orchestra 12-strings are voiced to pump out a potent wall-of-sound voice loaded with lush detail and richly ringing octave shimmer. The rosewood/spruce 458e leverages rosewood’s naturally full-range tone profile — from bellowing lows to brightly glimmering highs — to create an expansive, well-balanced 12-string sound. Lively strummers will enjoy exploring the expressive musical personality of this big-bodied acoustic. With Taylor’s onboard Expression System 2 electronics, all that double-course detail will translate into a clear amplified voice.

Thanks JR

Well that is a tone monster to be sure!

Plain and simple, it really is a monster.

And it just roars when released from it's cage.

Haven't ever named a guitar before, but I might start calling this one "the Kraken".
