Taylor 616ce-LTD | Serial No. 1105133134 | African Ebony [Gabon Blackwood] & European Spruce

Up for sale is my Taylor 616ce-LTD in African Ebony [Gabon Blackwood] & European Spruce. This is Taylor top of the line production. Serial No. 1105133134

This guitar is Taylor Acoustic/Electric. This is the real deal beautiful aesthetic❗

My sales are very controlled by myself only as I am a private seller and not a store shop, so if the guitar is up for sale on Reverb then it is available for purchase; the guitar shipped to you will be exactly the one in the advertisement pictures. Once I list a guitar for sale on reverb it is not used or touched again unless there is a seller's reason to do so.

I am not the original owner of this guitar for many years now - however it has little play time on it - my reason for selling is to thin the herd.

I'm a man-cave player , so this Taylor 616ce-LTD has never been out of my home , and unless played , it's in the case , in my temp/humidity controlled environment.

It is in Mint condition for it's age, no scratches, no dings, and may find only the faintest micro swirling - just 'cause that's the way I keep all my instruments.

I give this guitar two thumbs up for it's amazing clear balanced articulate tone and all USA American build quality.  I play only fingerstyle guitar and this one has a solid great feel and lively open tone to it. If requested I'd be happy to suppy a 24bit.wave sound clip to the serious interest.

This guitar has amazing construction , wood selection and specs for the price , with some of the key features being...

- USA American build construction...

- El Cajon , California , USA

- Robert Taylor , Signed Label

- Serial No. 1105133134

- Solid European Spruce top

- beautiful figured African Ebony [Gabon Blackwood] back and sides

- high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish

- GOTOH 510 gold tuners [1:21]

- Taylor 16 = Grand Symphony body size and specs [nothing unusual here]

This guitar is set up with a still really good condition set of Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 12-53 ; (i happen to tune my guitars most often E-flat to e-flat) ; string set-up is nice and low good for fingerstyle, which is what I play. This guitar sounds and looks absolutely amazing!

It also comes with it's original Taylor built hard shell case with crushed pink poodle color interior all in excellent condition.

The guitar will be in the exact condition I have advertised it and all the pics are taken the same day this adv. was posted.

My asking price is set more than reasonable, and sale priced which is already several points better than reasonably good , and is currently low as I'm willing to take it ; so the b.o. option is not available.

Reverb is an On-line sales platform ; some have gotten the wrong idea that meeting is to have an opportunity to "try" the guitar to make a decision whether to purchase ; not so ; the only reason for meeting is to complete the transaction at the advertised sale price , also no re-negotiating the price ; and to give the buyer an opportunity to pay only for the guitar list price yet excluding the shipping cost and the obligatory platform sales taxes. There will be no handling of the guitar until it is paid for in full ; there are plenty of pictures and instrument information here in the advertisement to help with a decision to purchase. No Trades. This is a private sale and not a store shop.

Note: If you intend to pick up this instrument Locally please notify me first _before payment is made via Reverb so I can remove the shipping charge ! I do Not want to have to refund the shipping charge _it does not work out well at my end in the final balance of payment !

Important Notice for Local Pick-up - you will absolutely have to Mark the 'Received Item' on the Reverb phone app. and show me as you process , before i can hand the case and guitar over to you - afterward you may review it as you wish - but please be reminded , once paid , my sales are advertised as 'final sale & no return'.

This is a private sale but sales taxes are collected by Reverb on behalf of the CDN government via new rules for on-line sales for CDN residents.

Local Pick-up/?  message me about paying off of Reverb with an e-transfer or cash at place and time of meeting  _to avoid the platform's obligatory sales taxes collection.  There will be no re-negotiating the advertised sales price at that time ; and yes , I still will have to pay to Reverb their sales commission listing fee.

The sale is final and there is no refund policy.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you are interested - the best way to contact me is via direct messaging Reverb platform.

Thank you ! erik@ag
