Sound Pure's Take

All Koa, all clean!  No big story with this one--that part's left up to you!  Hardly a year old.  Our luthier performed a minor setup to ensure top notch playability and intonation.  Whether you're leaned back on the couch after a long day or taking to the stage for a long night, this gorgeous workhorse won't let you down!

Condition: Used, Excellent

From Taylor Guitars

Fans of Hawaiian koa will love the look, feel and sound of this all-koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid koa top, which is paired with layered koa back and sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium’s musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and the hardwood koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway and Taylor’s ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking “fishbone” pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays, and chrome tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
