Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: The finish around the neck joints was touched up. 

Delivering massive 12-string volume and rich, shimmering sustain, the Taylor 855-CE pairs a solid spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides in a commanding jumbo cutaway body shape. Its comfortable mahogany neck is carved to a smooth "C" profile, carrying a dark ebony fingerboard adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl inlays. Premium aesthetic touches include a shimmering abalone rosette, an ebony bridge, and smooth gold Taylor tuning machines along the extended 12-string headstock. Outfitted with Taylor's proprietary Expression System 1 (ES1) pickup system for authentic plugged-in acoustic performance, this resonant 5 lb 10 oz instrument comes protected in its original Taylor hardshell case.
