This one is a hair shy of mint condition. Very small little blemish in the finish. I don’t believe it’s a scratch. Very difficult to photograph but we disclose everything. Always kept in a climate controlled environment and zero playwear. It’s an older model, but it has been preserved well. Full warranty included. Some may call this new-old stock. It’s clean and priced very well. Don’t hesitate.
The Taylor Builder’s Edition 517e WHB Mahogany is a premium acoustic guitar that showcases Taylor’s modern Dreadnought body design, enhanced with a full range of Builder’s Edition upgrades. The guitar features a torrefied spruce top with a vintage-inspired Wild Honey Burst finish, delivering a rich blend of projection, clarity, and warmth. Its silent satin finish adds a touch of vintage character to its appearance and feel.
