The Taylor K26ce is a spectacular guitar, with a shaded edgeburst finish that really brings out the visual qualities of Koa. Starting with the Grand Symphony body, close to a Jumbo size, the Taylor K26ce uses solid AA grade Hawaiian Koa for the top, sides and back. The neck is Mahogany, and Ebony is used for the head plate, bridge and fingerboard.

Intended as a companion to the then-new Les Paul solidbody, the Gibson J-160E was one of the first mass production electrified steel string guitars. This model was discontinued in 1979, and is occasionally re-issued.
