My favourite Taylor in terms of sound is my 810ce Ltd Madagascar from 2006. I acquired this guitar used for a measely 2000$ a few years back and after a while I found that the saddle had been cut wrong. It already sounded pretty good but it sounded much better after I fixed it. Only a tiny ding in the top, the rest was in mint condintion as it had never been really played.
In terms of aesthetics my all Koa Ltd GA from 2011 is the most beautifull of all my guitars. It sounds good too but the sound is more jazzy, which isn't my preferred style to play. Someone else may look at it the other way though, it all depends on what you play. In any case, this guitar invites me to play more jazz so it serves a great purpose.
You may have guessed by now that I only own two Taylors and some other brands, to me they're the culmination of Taylor craftmanship but then again I've not really seen much from them I didn't like.
