Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A special guitar from a special era in El Cajon. It's rare and awesome for us to see a Taylor this old from this far up in their model series! Astoundingly comfortable to play, a totally different-sounding guitar from what it was when it left California and a totally different beast from what Taylor does these days. The rarely met trifecta of looks/sound/feel are all here in spades and, after some carefully executed tune up work from our luthier, structural stability and cosmetic grade are as fantastic as ever. Just a killer find!
