Default Sold - 2009 Taylor GS7 (Cedar/EIR - Gorgeous)

Offered for sale is my 2009 Taylor GS7. The only flaw on this otherwise perfect guitar are two small dings at the top of the headstock that were self inflicted. I cannot find any scratches or dings on this guitar anywhere else.

This guitar has a cedar top and EIR back and sides. It is extremely responsive and the tonal presentation is sweet and clear. The GS body gives it a very good low end gut punch but it is not boomy at all. The cedar top makes the top end bright but not too shimmery or shrill. This guitar is similar to a GA in that it can be a jack of all trades for strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle but the slightly larger body just gives it more volume and low end. I've done the following upgrades:

John Pearse armrest
Gotoh 510 tuners
Taylor pickguard (it came without one and I did not want to scratch the top)

Here's a link to the Taylor website with more specs info on this guitar - https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/gs7












Headstock dings, two (2)



Thanks for looking.

This is one of Taylor’s best kept secrets. I hate to part with it but I’m more comfortable with a 12 fret short scale. Would be an excellent bluegrass flatpicker. Thanks for looking.

I own one of these from the same year as yours. The difference between them is that mine was a BTO with a 1 7/8 inch nut. These are wonderful guitars... the best Taylor I have owned (3 total).
Good luck on your sale. BTW.. the Gotoh 510's look great on that guitar!

I used to own a GS7 years ago. I really amazing, lush guitar. I’ve since gravitated to smaller body guitars but this one of best models in Taylor’s entire line IMO.

Friday bump. Great price for a GS7 especially with the upgrades. Compare to other GS7’s on Reverb and elsewhere.

Thanks.

I have a Taylor GC7 - same series different size. Mine is also cedar over rosewood.

I cannot gush enough about how fantastic these guitars are.

IMO these are some of the best bang-for-the-buck Taylors ever made.

If anyone is unsure or unfamiliar, I assure you to take the plunge. You will be amazed at how wonderful these are.
