Hi I just broke my Taylor 410.  :(  And not into paying a brand new acoustic guitar since I mainly play electric.  So if anyone has a solid wood dreadnought that they are interested in selling please let me know.

PERFERABLY from TAYLOR OR LARRIVEE. 

thanks

I've got a Lakewood D-1 -- all solid woods -- for sale on the forum.  See the listing here:

Hi:

I just bought a Breedlove AD25/SR Plus but have to sell it because the fretboard is the usual 1 11/16ths, not the 1.75" that for some reason, I had it in my head it would be. This is the top of the Breedlove Atlas line.

It is in new condition. It was coming in a generic case, not a Breedlove case, so I ordered one for it even before it arrived. The deluxe Breedlove case should be here any day. New on Ebay these guitars are $xxx. I'll sell mine with the Breedlove case shipped CONUS for $850. As I said, it is new.

This is a magnificent guitar! I bought it thinking it would replace my Takamine AN16C, which has the ususal 1 & 11/16ths nut. It sounds every bit as good and looks much better.

from the Breedlove site:
The AD25/SR, Plus is a Solid Sitka Spruce top and Solid Rosewood back acoustic electric dreadnought with a soft cutaway.The plus package includes abalone top purfling, plus rosette, tortoise pickguard and the Breedlove Diamond inlay pattern.

Complete with ivoroid binding and Fishman Classic IV Pickup, the AD25/SR, Plus combines Breedlove design elements and balanced tonal signature with the highest quality manufacturing practices in the world to bring you a highly affordable acoustic masterpiece.

I am also selling the aforementioned Takamine EAN16C. I think that these sell new for about $xxxx plus costs for case and shipping. I will sell mine for, say, $450 shipped CONUS, in a nice arch-top case. These are rosewood/spruce with a solid back. Mine is a AAA factory second with a pair of repaired cracks (about an inch apart)  below the bridge and some scratches in the finish. The repair does not affect the beautiful tone or great playability of the guitar.

cdarwincole you might want to post those inthe 'for sale' section.  Also the poster was looking for an all-solid guitar whch I assume the Tak isn't.

I have a near-mint Taylor 710 for sale. Email me for details at: gns9w1@yahoo.com

Thanks, Greg

How broke is it?
Any possibility of repair? Might be worth looking into.

Its pretty badly broken.  It was stepped on  :<> so.....  not worth fixing. 

I'm still toying with the idea of selling my Taylor 310.  It's a 2005 in perfect condition.  It comes with a Colosi bone saddle & bridge pins, new John Pearse PB strings, and 3 more new sets of strings in the case (Elixir PB, D'Addario EXPs, Martin).
