Here for sale we have a Taylor 410-CE-LTD Dreadnought electro acoustic guitar in Gloss top and Satin back and sides Natural finish. Made in Mexico in 2002, this guitar features a Solid Sitka Spruce top with a 3-ply Black/White rosette, Ovangkol back and sides. A Mahogany neck is joined to a 20 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge along with a set of Grover tuning machines. A Fishman Prefix Plus system is featured with shoulder mounted controls for Volume, notch, bass, contour, treble, brilliance, frequency and a phase control.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the ‘C’ profile filling the hand without being substantial, feeling comfortable in the hand, thick enough to inspire confidence and feel dependable without being cumbersome. The Ebony fingerboard feels smooth to the touch, and with the 15" radius provides a playing surface capable of a wide variety of playing styles, whilst fretting is a breezy and sumptuous affair in any register. The single-cutaway dreadnought body design feels great in both seated and standing positions, and provides unobstructed access to the higher register.
The voice of this guitar is warm and detailed, with the Ovangkol back and sides producing a punchy and responsive midrange. The Solid Sitka Spruce top provides a balanced, seasoned tone with plenty of low end power and warm detail. The Fishman Prefix Plus system captures the natural voice of the instrument perfectly, the simple soundhole mounted controls offer complete control of your tone, whilst the simple shoulder mounted control layout keeps things simple offering hassle free tone adjustments.
