While I was in the hospital, this was delivered to me, my new Taylor 316CE LTD. This is a Grand Symphony shape koa Taylor I ordered last week. 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.
I think Koa is the most beautiful of all the hardwoods used to make musical instruments. Nice

I wasn't aware they had made the GS in the 300 series guitars yet. I have been GASing for a 816ce for years. The GS body shape is a just fantastic.
Koa is a nice tonewood that will open up as you play it. So the guitar will sound even better in a couple of years. My 614ce is 12 years old and sounds way better than when I first bought her.
The GS body is the bassiest Taylor guitar. Fantastic Strumming with lots of thumb and very articulate. The Koa will definitely add to the midrange and warmth.
So lovely, would definitely be the best recovery-assisting nurse I could imagine.
Spruce and Koa are really a nice combination, you get both punch and warm resonance all the way through, and I imagine it will be wonderful to see and feel the guitar age nicely in you hands in the coming years.
Very nice! I played one of the 16 body style guitars a while ago, don't remember which series it was, but I loved it! I've owned my 414ce for almost 8 years now and I love it!
