2008 COCOBOLO GRAND SYMPHONY LIMITED EDITION ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC GUITAR • NO RESERVE

The best limited edition in my entire time selling Taylor Guitars.  The Adirondack CV Bracing, revolutionized for the R. Taylor brand acoustics, makes it's way for the first time into the mainstream Taylor line.  With the added strength and resonance of adirondack spruce binding, these guitars have a booming voice unlike anything that you will ever hear a Taylor make.  When the 2008 Cocobolo Limiteds arrived at our store, we only received one GS and one GC.  They both stayed in the store for a period of seven days.  We searched for more and eventually Taylor found others that weren't bought by dealers who originally wanted them.  We received two more (including this one.)  Both sold within another week.  The Koa limiteds couldn't even touch these.

So, I offer to you a used Limited Cocobolo GS that has not one mark on it, very slight surface scratches, no dings, scuffs or damage whatsoever, and one of the best guitars out there.  With this NO RESERVE auction, I offer the chance to acquire this incredibly rare guitar.

DON'T LET THIS GUITAR GET AWAY!

STATE OF THE GUITAR:  As I stated above, there are no marks on this guitar.  I am convinced that the customer who owned this only played this guitar once and a while and just left it in it's case.  The neck is straight, frets are perfect with only a little indentation showing that the guitar has seen a little play.  The guitar has been restrung with a new set of Medium Elixir Nanoweb strings and cleaned.  It has been set-up by our technician and plays beautifully.

The guitar includes it's original hard shell case.  The case has been cleaned and has very few marks on the outer surface.

If there are any questions you have, feel free to send a message or call (615) 425-0256.  My name is Jon and I am responsible for this auction.

TAKEN FROM TAYLORGUITARS.COM:

When a batch of guitars arouses a wave of “Whoa!”s on their way through the Taylor factory, it’s clearly a good sign. Those of us lucky enough to work around beautiful guitars every day might be excused if the “wow” factor were to level out just a tad amid the daily parade of Taylor eye candy, but the sight of this year’s Fall LTDs has cast an undeniable spell on many of us here. On his way through our Final Assembly area, VP of Production Richard Berry was literally stopped in his tracks by one beauty, and immediately made arrangements to buy it. During a recent factory tour, one guest became so transfixed by an LTD model he all but begged the tour guide to secure dibs on it. A number of our builders have confessed that these are some of the most beautiful guitars they’ve worked on.

So it is with considerable pride and no shortage of our own guitar lust that we introduce this year’s Fall Limited Editions, featuring a dazzling duet of Mexican cocobolo and Hawaiian koa, two of our most exotic and visually striking tonewoods. The two trade off on starring and supporting roles this year, as incandescent lava-hued cocobolo bodies accented with a Hawaiian koa mini-wedge and binding, and ripple-figured koa bodies set off by a cocobolo mini wedge and binding, each radiate uniquely intense aesthetic appeal.

Beauty also resides in the rich finishing details that create a series of gorgeous visual counterpoints: a cocobolo backstrap outlined in ebony and maple; delicate pinstriping along the fretboard and headstock; and a cocobolo heel cap. Also offered are premium appointments normally found on our 900 Series: gold Gotoh tuners, a bone nut and saddle, an abalone top, and 900 Series peghead and bridge inlays.

The coco/koa pairing is presented in three different body shapes: a cutaway or non-cutaway Grand Symphony (GS) with the Expression System®, a Grand Auditorium (GA) with a cutaway and the ES, and a non-cutaway, slothead Grand Concert (GC) with the ES. Far from relying strictly on their looks to get by, this year’s Fall LTDs also boast a premium, tone-enhancing twist: a Sitka spruce top with Adirondack spruce bracing, which adds extra elasticity that pays off with a sweeter, more powerful and more balanced acoustic voice.

“Putting Addie braces on a Sitka top makes a huge difference,” says Bob Taylor. “They might deliver 90 percent of what an Adirondack top does. Sonically, it’s sweet and ‘springy,’ offering a nice bounce and more dynamic attack.” The Fall Limiteds are shipping now. Quantities are limited, so check with your local Taylor dealer for availability. More photos of our Fall LTDs, along with complete specifications, are available at taylorguitars.com.
