***SOLD ***

I've decided three guitars is just too many right now, and even though this is probably the nicest Taylor I've had here by a long shot (thinks it's a Goodall CJ, but it's better!!) I've grown very used to and attached to my Webbers.   I'll also have the McKragOlingAgon guitar coming in the future, so 2 is plenty for now!

This one is Mahogany/Engelmann. Rosewood binding on the body, fingerboard and headstock.  1 7/8 nut - 2 3/16 saddle, offset fingerboard markers...the best part....The Mahogany is unstained!!  It also has the "new" Pink Poodle case that I find even better than the original.

The tone is much more "lush" than you would expect from this body size/wood combination (thus the Goodall reference)  Very balanced, smooth response with no harshness in the treble whatsoever.   The lows and mids are very big sounding and the trebles are really fat.  Pretty reasonable amount of overtones on this one, but not overwhelming (and I'm easily overwhelmed by them!)

It's absolutely dead mint, I've done some setup work on it and it's much better than when I received it.  I'm second owner and the first told me he may have had it out of the case for an hour total since March (he'd found another 1 7/8 guitar that "fit his style" better)

I'm firm on the price on this one....think it's very fair given the "uniqueness" of the piece.   1475 and actual shipping to the lower 48 on my Fedex account.
If you pay with Paypal, add 35 and I'll cover the rest.

It is a fair price, and awfully fine for a brand I generally find less appealing.   :cop: 
Bet it was beat out only on account of the competition being Webber!   :nice guitar:
Wish Taylor left all their hog unstained!

fitness1 is positively the best guy you can buy from - let me know if I can vouch for him.   :thumbsup

Thanks Mr Michael!

Yes, the Webber sound has really taken over my ear drums.   In fact, when the builders of my Acoustic Voice giveaway guitar get to that point, I'm going to take a road trip with my Webbers so Mr Mcknight can hear what I like about them. :guitar

This is the finest Taylor I've owned.....makes the old benchmark '97 914c I had sound like a bit of a toy! :winkin:

I also forgot to mention that it apparently has the R Taylor "wave compensated" bone saddle....



and for those of you who like full body shots...
