Default Is a K20 a 500 series or higher?

Depending on the figuring and grain of the koa, the cosmetic condition, and whether it has a cutaway/electronics, I've seen them sell from $1500 up to $2500, although closer to the lower end of that range is more likely in this market. Sounds like a nice guitar!

Also, as far as I know Taylor didn't have "presentation" grade koa back then (the Presentations didn't start until, what, 1996?), but yours may certainly *look* as nice as current Presentation grade. Post some pics when you have a chance!
