Pre-owned, yes. Played, barely. Originally acquired directly from Taylor by a pro musician, this guitar was never subjected to the rigors of the road and spent most of its life tucked safely away in its case. We tend to be conservative when grading used instruments, but this one is exceptionally clean and remarkably well-preserved. With incredibly low mileage and a complete inspection by our Gold Level technicians, it’s ready for its next chapter. A fantastic opportunity to own a premium Taylor at a substantial savings over new.
