Condition: Used, Excellent
Made with the finest and rarest of wood-types, this is a truly Gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce instrument. The gorgeous binding is tasteful, but with a clear nod to mesmerizing and beautiful artisan-ship.
The value proposition on this is absolutely outstanding - a Taylor made, RARE, Brazilian Rosewood + Sitka Sprice combination, makes this an absolute no-brainer for the no-compromise collector looking to add a very special Taylor, or to the aficionado who knows that there is simply no substitute for Brazilian.
The fretwork is now world-class, tip-top proving this is not only a picturesque beauty, but one that any professional musician of the highest caliber will appreciate - not your "every man's Taylor" to be sure, this one is special.
The intent of the work performed, and now seeing in its completion has made this as beautiful as the picture (don't fully) do it justice, and also has master-built playability one would expect from a world class instrument, setup in the hands of one of the most precise luthiers.
SP Luthier Notes: A small top crack (natural grain separation) was expertly and permanently repaired to stabilize it for the lifetime of the instrument, without compromising the beauty of this extraordinary instrument, and ensuring there was also no compromise to the tonal capabilities of this unqiue beauty.
Performed Light Cosmetic Cleanup Work, and Completed Partial Refret: Playability is now silky smooth, buzz free up and down the fret board, probably as good or better than the day it was born.
Headquartered in El Cajon, California, Taylor Guitars was founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, and has grown into the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars. Taylor 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, Baja California, Mexico. The company maintains an active dealer network, with Taylor guitars sold through hundreds of retail locations in North America and with international distribution to 60 countries, including a distribution warehouse and factory service center in the Netherlands.
Renowned for blending modern, innovative manufacturing techniques with a master craftsman's attention to detail, Taylor guitars are widely considered among the best-sounding and easiest to play in the world. The company was a pioneer in the use of computer mills, lasers and other high-tech tools and proprietary machinery, and today, Bob Taylor is widely recognized throughout the musical instrument industry as the visionary acoustic guitar manufacturer. Among the company’s many innovations are its patented Taylor Neck, the first major innovation in the construction of the acoustic guitar in the last 100 years; the award-winning Expression System® 2 (ES2) pickup, a groundbreaking 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.
In addition to its forward-thinking approach to guitar design and manufacturing, Taylor has applied that same approach to its wood sourcing and environmental sustainability initiatives. Taylor is dedicated to the pursuit of best practices in forest management, new models of reforestation, and bringing ethically harvested tonewoods to market. This approach, together with 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, Zac Brown, and many other established musicians.
