Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Good (see pictures for repaired crack/finish dings)

First things first--if wear bothers you, don't bother with this one.

If you don't mind a war wound or two, however, the wizened, rich voice that this wonderfully playable 710 offers will serve you as a reminder of just how good these models can be and, most importantly, how downright FUN it is to play a great guitar!  Top end shimmer, perfect midrange punchiness, rich bass.  This is the kind of guitar that made Taylor a household name!
