Taylor BTO Mastergrade Koa GA - Price Reduced
For Sale - $5800
The term "Mastergrade", "5A", is thrown about loosely at times. I've played a lot of koa guitars, and this one absolutely has some of the finest koa I've ever seen. Extreme flame/curl, on every section - front, back, and sides. Stellar koa tone. I've had a K&K Pure Mini pickup installed by Gryphon Strings in Palo Alto. These pictures were from the ones posted by Randee's Music, which is where I purchased the guitar from. They have some information on there, from when they handpicked the woods to use on the guitar. If you're in the CA Bay Area, you're more than welcome to come try out the guitar if you're interested in it. Here's a picture of this guitar posing with my all koa Ryan Cathedral 12 string. You can see how the color of the koa seems to change when in full sunlight. Here's the specs of the guitar build: Shape: Grand Auditorium Number of Strings: 6 Back/Side Wood: Hand selected Master Grade Hawaiian Koa Scale length: 25-1/2″ Top Wood: Hand selected Master Grade Hawaiian Koa Body Length: 20 5/8″ Electronics: none Body Width: 16 3/4″ Cutaway: none Armrest: Cocobolo Body Depth: 5″ Nut & Saddle: Bone Neck Width: 1-3/4″ Neck/Heel: Tropical Mahogany Bracing: Adirondack Spruce CV Bracing with Relief Rout Fretboard Wood: Ebony Fretboard Inlay: Engraved Twist Headstock Overlay: Figured Hawaiian Koa Binding: Cocobolo Bridge Inlay: None Bridge Pins: Ebony Tuners: Antique Gold Gotoh 510 Truss Rod Cover: Hawaiian Koa glossed Back/Side Finish: Gloss Top Finish: Gloss Neck Finish: Satin Pickguard: Clear, loose in the case Case: Taylor Deluxe Number of Frets: 20 Armrest Binding: None Back Config: 2-piece No Wedge Buttons: Gold Fretboard Binding: Cocobolo Heel Cap Binding: Cocobolo Heel length: 3-7/8″ Purfling Material: Fiber Peghead Finish: Gloss Peghead Purfling: None Peghead Inlay: None Peghead Binding: Cocobolo Peghead Logo: Taylor Paua Peghead Type: Standard Rosette Mat: Paua Single Ring w/ Bound Soundhole Rosette Size: Single Ring Type of Neck Joint: Scarf Wedge: None

Bump for price drop. Koa doesn't get much more beautifully figured than this. It's not very often that you'll see an all koa guitar with full premium mastergrade on top, back, & sides. The full treatment. It's absolutely stunning.
