Sound Pure's Take
This guitar makes you feel at ease from the moment you open the case! Taylor's wonderful honeyburst really pops with that rippling Big Leaf Maple on the back and sides and the Hard Rock Maple that constitutes the highly accomodating neck. Tonally, she sounds like church bells on a quiet summer's evening...just the right amount of bright articulation in the mid and treble ranges to compliment the overall warm, sweet tonality shared by the entire dynamic range. The condition is remarkable given the make year--the past 8 years have only served to settle the wood and develop the tonal character, opening up a more tender side of Maple that rarely shows itself on new guitars. Call us up and take this sweetheart home today before she finds someone else to cozy up to!
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Taylor Guitars
Established in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, Taylor Guitars has evolved into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium acoustic and electric guitars.
Headquartered in El Cajon, California, Taylor Guitars employs over 900 people and currently produces hundreds of guitars per day in its state-of-the-art factory complexes in both El Cajon and in Tecate, Mexico. The company maintains an active dealer network with Taylor guitars available in over 800 retail locations in North America and international distribution to 60 countries, including a distribution warehouse in the Netherlands.
Renowned for blending an innovative use of modern technology with a master craftsman's attention to detail, Taylor guitars are widely considered the best sounding and easiest to play in the world. The company was a pioneer of the use of computer technology, lasers and other high-tech tools and machinery and today, Bob Taylor is widely recognized throughout the musical instrument industry as the visionary acoustic guitar manufacturer. The company’s innovations include, but are not limited to, the New Technology ® (NT) neck, the first major innovation in the construction of the acoustic guitar in the last 100 years; the award-winning Expression System® (ES) pickup, a groundbreaking, high-tech approach to amplifying an acoustic guitar; and the T5, the first, true hybrid acoustic and electric guitar that can produce amplified acoustic tones, full-crunch electric, and everything in-between with the flip of a five-way switch.
Outstanding playability, flawless craftsmanship, and stunning aesthetics are just a few of the reasons that many of today’s leading musicians make Taylor their guitar of choice. The company’s artist roster numbers in the thousands, and includes the likes of Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, and Zac Brown, among many others.
