NGD Taylor 916ce
 

After some guitar confusion, I closed the deal on this Taylor 916ce and took delivery earlier this week. I haven't owned a steel string acoustic in a very long time. After ten years of playing exclusively nylon classical, I put that guitar up for sale and bought an electric arch top. The next step in my evolution was to find a steel string instrument for fingerpicking / chord melody. My first choice was a Huss and Dalton OM. After receiving it and playing it for a few days, I had to send it back. It was a beautiful guitar and the equal of any available but it didn't have the sound I was looking for - snappy bass and ringing trebles with plenty of volume. Rather than buying blind again, I went to Guitar Center and played a few Taylors. Instant love. Soon the 916 arrived. Big bold basses, great sustain, beautiful workmanship. With a pick or with fingers, outstanding clarity and volume. This guitar really speaks to me. They are such personal choices. It's a great time to be alive as there are so many great choices. This one was made for me.

Hi Cincy,

WOW! What a gorgeous guitar! Very big congratulations to you! That is just stunning.

Very nice! I think the highest up the Taylor food chain that I have ever played was a 814 and that played and sounded great. I can only imagine what yours is like.

Congrats! I've played a few 900's and they were all stellar guitars. The GS body 916 would be a cannon!
800's are VERY nice, but the 900's are a cut above. The armrest is really comfortable too, and a nice feature.

That's a beauty. Congrats!

Congrats, use it in good health. :up:

Beautiful guitar. Enjoy!

It's great when anybody finds the right guitar for themselves. I'm going to stick with my 2000 914c (and Cotten 612c), but if I were in the market today, a new 916ce would be high on my list to try. Congratulations!

Sweet guitar with plenty of bling. Congrats!

Congratulations Cincy2 and welcome to the 900 club!
It is lovely!
Please post some more pics when you get a chance.

Lovely guitar. Those 900 series guitars are amazing! Enjoy!

Beautiful guitar I love the aesthetics of the new 900 series and they sound fantastic enjoy:up:

I recently played a 900 series. Wow, they have a nice voice. Comfy too, with the arm bevel. Beautiful!

Very nice guitar Cincy. Congratulations.
