This 2012 Taylor GS6e has been in our inventory for nearly 2 years, and it's worn out its welcome! Though it sounds and plays great, it's a discontinued model, and needs to go.
In the past, Taylor designated their acoustic-only models with a 2-letter prefix denoting the body shape, followed by a number corresponding to the particular wood combination used. For example, a spruce top, maple back/sides Grand Symphony model would be known as a GS6, for Grand Symphony, 600 series. The lower case "e" at the end signifies that it's an electric version (Taylor Expression System).
Since acoustic/electric models used a different naming convention, Taylor decided to simplify and consolidate their naming scheme. Now, what used to be known as a GS6 is called a 616 if acoustic only, a 616e if it has an Expression System, or a 616ce if it has a cutaway and the Expression System.
So, the last year of the 2-letter models was 2012.
Here we have a discontinued model GS6e which is exactly the same guitar as today's 616e. It has no cutaway, but does include the Expression System. This guitar was built August 9th, 2012.
So this GS6e (616 electric, non-cutaway), while a great guitar, has been hanging around too long. It's like that puppy at the shelter, just looking at you through the fence with those big puppy dog eyes, pleading with you to "PLEASE TAKE ME HOME!"
