Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

We always love 12 fret Taylors (richer, meatier, bassier than their 14 frets relatives) and this 2018 Summer NAMM exclusive is no exception.  Clarity and focus across the full range are complimented by Taylor's infamously, so-good-it-should-be-illegal playability and a very fetching fullbody Sunburst.
