SOLD is a 2016 Taylor Prototype 110e with a Honduran Mahogany top in excellent condition. Guitar has Taylor's ES2 electronics, and will ship in a like-new hardshell case.
With its Mahogany top, this rare Taylor dreadnought would be a "120e" if the model existed in general production. The guitar sounds great, offering the crisp, clean tone of a Taylor combined with added warmth thanks to the Mahogany top. Playability is top shelf thanks to a recent pro set-up. Guitar has zero issues.

And here's a soundclip (recorded in one take on a Zoom H2n, using the stock mics set to XY configuration, placed about 12" from the 12th fret, and aimed at the 14th fret body join. The Zoom's automatic recording levels were used, and there were no edits, processing, or overdubs):
This is a great, unique, gig ready and gig worthy guitar. It just doesn't get enough playing time for me to justify keeping it.
