Limited-edition K16ce LTD Guitar!

The Taylor K16ce LTD Grand Symphony acoustic-electric guitar gives you the beautiful look and amazing sound of red cedar combined with real Hawaiian koa. Besides the premium woods, you'll also love the tasteful binding and appointments. With a K16ce LTD, you get a bold and balanced sound of koa, plus the easy response of a Western red cedar top, a combination many of the fingerpickers around Sweetwater enjoy. And you'll enjoy the K16ce LTD's perfectly balanced tone both onstage and in the studio, thanks to its onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics system.

• Western red cedar and koa give you a full-bodied tone with a mellow edge
• Grand Symphony body style: huge, balanced tone with articulation
• Taylor Expression System 2 electronics deliver superior sound onstage

The K16ce LTD is a prime example of the high-quality tonewoods Taylor selects for their guitars. It features a Western red cedar top, which adds a mellow edge to the bold voice of its koa back and sides. The Grand Symphony body style further enhances the wide-ranging tone and excellent balance of the K16ce. This rare combination of tonewoods makes the K16ce LTD a particularly good choice if you prefer fingerstyle playing, but it's great for flatpicking techniques as well. And because all-solid tonewoods are used, the K16ce LTD's tone will become richer and more complex as the years go by.

Bob Taylor developed the Grand Symphony body style to push the sonic envelope. Deeper, fuller, and louder than a Grand Auditorium - or a dreadnought, for that matter - the GS serves up sonorous, piano-esque lows, solid midrange, and confident treble. Whether strummed or flatpicked, the Taylor K16ce LTD gives your notes articulation - even with a light attack. The Grand Symphony is a body style that means it.

If you play plugged-in, then you're going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your K16ce LTD acoustic guitar. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it's positioned and how it's integrated into the K16ce LTD's saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls let you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.

• Limited-edition Taylor guitar with cedar top and koa back and sides
• Grand Auditorium body style gives you dreadnought-like projection with a more expressive upper register
• Western red cedar top provides a smooth and mellow tone
• Koa back and sides add clarity and projection
• Onboard Taylor Expression System 2 electronics give you surprisingly natural plugged-in tone

Experience the sound of premium Hawaiian koa and Western red cedar with the limited-edition Taylor K16ce LTD acoustic-electric guitar!

• Reverse headstock offers far more than looks
• Classic Hendrix Strat^® tones via a reversed bridge pickup
• Modern neck dimensions for playing ease

Not many players have cut such an iconic stage presence as Jimi Hendrix and his flipped-over Strats. But the look of that reversed headstock brought Jimi way more than an identifiable look. It increased string length to the low strings, which adds tension to the string, giving you a more pronounced tone and a tighter feel. And the shorter string length of the higher strings lightens the string tension for easier bending. That's why if you want to nail Jimi's vibe, you need a Strat like his.

The American Vintage '65 single-coil pickups on the Jimi Hendrix Strat get you closer to his sound. The vintage-style construction ensures you'll hear a clear output, with plenty of Strat chime. But it's the reverse bridge pickup design that sets this trio of pickups apart. By flipping his guitars over, Jimi tilted the pickup in the opposite way from most Strats. By offering you the same construction, you'll attain tight, warm sounds, with enhanced upper harmonics.

The maple neck on the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster carries a modern fretboard radius of 9.5". This flatter design allows for much wider string bends than a vintage fretboard. It also works much better with the 6-saddle, vintage-style tremolo. And the neck's C-shape sits comfortably in your hand. It's thin enough for fast fretwork and Jimi-style thumb-over technique, but also substantial enough for comfortable chording. You'll get the best of Jimi's prized guitars with the features of today's great playing Fenders.
