Title: FS/FT: Taylor Custom Built Short Scale GA
Post by: timvanderlaan on July 01, 2009, 08:09:48 PM
I've finally decided that I will indeed sell my custom BTO Taylor GA short scale.  I have received another guitar that is similar enough that I don't see myself playing this guitar like it deserves to be played.   The guitar is in absolute perfect condition and has never left my home (still has factory Elixirs on it).  The woods are top notch and the tone is great (much in part to the adirondack bracing and a very stiff Sitka top).

Here are all of the specs:
-6 string GA
-no cutaway
-Premium Sitka Spruce Top (very stiff, heavy silking)
-Premium E.I. Rosewood b/s
-2 piece back
-CV Adirondack bracing
-ebony headstock overlay
-ebony truss rod cover (gloss finished)
-mahogany neck (dark stained to match body)
-1 3/4" nut width
-24 7/8" short scale
-standard neck carve
-standard peghead
-bone nut and saddle
-Ebony binding on body, fretboard, and headstock
-Standard w/b/w fiber purfling (on top, back, and sides)
-green heart abalone rosette with ebony bound soundhole
-2.5 mm abalone dots inlay on fretboard
-no headstock inlay
-no bridge inlay
-chrome strap button
-chrome tuners
-no electronics
-gloss finish of top, back, sides, and peghead
-satin finish on neck
-natural finish
-medium gauge strings
-ebony bridge pins with abalone dots
-black pickguard left in the case

The guitar is very classic in its simplicity, but i promise that the tone far exceeds any bling that you could put on it.

I am looking for an outright sale or a trade with some $ coming my way.

Sale: $2150 plus shipping (and paypal fees if you choose that route)
Trade:  Interested in Traditional Dreads and Jumbos (looking for a powerful strummer)  let me know what you've got.

Here are a bunch of pictures, let me know if you'd like others:

You might consider selling this on the Acoustic Guitar Forum (formerly the Taylor Guitar Forum).  It's beautiful and obviously well cared for , but and please don't be offended, your asking price seems very high.  Good luck with the sale.
