Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The neck joint had naturally shifted over time leaving much to be desired of the guitar's action. Our luthier removed the neck then reset the neck joint to perfect factory condition. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A number of frets had become raised above the fingerboard and partially out of their fret slots which necessitated gluing and reseating said frets into the fingerboard. No further work was required.

Dive into the grand voice of this Taylor 858e Grand Orchestra, a true titan crafted with rich Indian Rosewood and a vibrant Sitka Spruce top, all gleaming in a natural gloss finish. Its V-Class bracing offers unparalleled sustain and volume, while the Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck and Crelicam Ebony fingerboard ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Our dedicated luthier meticulously reset the neck, adjusted the truss rod, nut, and bridge, and expertly reseated several frets, transforming it into a supremely playable, rock-solid instrument that absolutely sings! This isn't just a guitar; it’s a sound investment that promises years of musical joy and a distinctive tone that will inspire every strum.
