For Sale: 2014 Taylor CUSTOM GS w/BEVEL,BC Sitka/TasBw, TRADED AGF!

[Guitars44me]

Selling a very sweet Beveled Taylor 2014 Ltd. (label says Custom)

Below is a quote from Artisan Guitars in Nashville:

"Without knowing the original list price on your Taylor, I believe you
definitely have it priced to sell. If we were to prepare our standard market
evaluation on it, we might have suggested you price it higher, though that
is only a guess based on the features on the guitar."

TRADED AGF! Thanks to all!

I will pay shipping insured and way pro packed

Dropped Reverb price again. Still cheaper here on AGF, of course!

Back 12/21/16, from a complete inspection, neck set, set up, clear Taylor pickguard, and serious top buffing! Currently sporting Elixir PB HD light strings and really singing wonderfully!
All work done by my pal Tim Luranc. Tim was former head of R. Taylor and is now Senior Repair Tech at Taylor El Cajon.

This axe has been played, but the condition is now very close to new, and the set up is perfect, as always from Tim Luranc!

This has been Tone-Rited since coming home 12/21/16, and has really opened up and matured sound wise! I will keep it on the TR in my plant filled and humidity monitored music room. No pets, smoking, or kids home.

Check the MF link below for a nice demo and even more info!

Made as a special run for Musician's Friend Private Reserve to celebrate Taylor's 40th anniversary.

This one has upgraded bone nut and Gotoh 510 tuners! These were not standard on this model!!!

These were some of Andy Powers first revoicings. The Tasmanian Blackwood is perfectly quartersawn, light, Loud, and very resonant. The AP designed Advanced performance bracing and relief rout add a lot to the tone and volume.

This has the new 3.5 mil finish thickness on the top.

And the bevel alone is a $1,500 up charge if ordering new from Taylor!!

This axe has been played. There WERE a bunch of TINY indents in the top. Most but not all where a pickguard would normally be. Very difficult to see or photograph, as the top has so much Bearclaw and silking! NOW the indents are gone, after Tim's super top buff.

The rest of this guitar is pristine. Almost no fret wear.

Pick up works great.

Action is set to 6/64" and 5/64" Entire new Taylor Micarta wave compensated saddle to adjust if desired.

Gotoh 510s are smooth and secure as usual.

I believe this has the new Andy Powers neck carve. The carve seems to have a bit of a modified V near the nut, and the usual Taylor carve up the neck. It seems even a bit easier to get around than the pre AP shape to me.

She's back, and she is sweet!!!

A GREAT guitar, but a bit redundant in my stable.

Tim really liked this one and says it is a fine example of Andy Powers' new revoicings.

I find the tone between Koa and Mahogany, and it is really Loud and FAT.

A splendid Christmas and Yule to all...

Cheers

Paul is a good seller with excellent pricing. I purchased a Bourgeois OM from him that really works for me, and I also use Tim Luranc, his luthier and employee #1 at Taylor Guitar repair. My sound has improved since dealing with both of these fellows.

[Guitars44me]

Thanks Larry!!!

When I sold Larry the Bogie he came to one of my "geezer gigs" and played and sang a couple Beatles tunes. He wound up with a recurring gig!

Buy a guitar, get a gig... sweet!

I am always encouraging folks to play for the infirm and the elderly! Your efforts and music will be warmly received!!! You will never get as much appreciation from most bars or restaurants...

Ho Ho Ho...

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul............will you be uploading any pictures soon? I own one of the 40th anniversary models made for GC, though made with flame mahogany instead of blackwood it is a tone monster as well. The bevel on these are so comfy and along with the bearclaw tops make these one heck of a custom for the price.
These are hard to find so I am happy I was able to score one a few months back........Should have no problems selling this one once you get a few pictures up......

Many more at the Reverb link......

PS - I agree with you - I love playing w/ my buddies over at the local nursing homes, memory care units, etc. And they (and the nurses) love having us.
Happy New Year.

Wish I had the money for this one. The 512 I got from you had he most incredible setup. Your luthier is a wizard. The best to you on the sale Paul. You are a true gentleman to deal with.

[Guitars44me]

Thanks Gregg. Yes, Tim Luranc is a real wizard of a Luthier. Lucky me, and all who get to play axes with his set ups, which are truly world class!

BTW, I sent you an email re: partial trade!

Cheers and a fine weekend to all

Paul

[palolowarrior]

Quite a guitar Paul, are you sure you want to sell this one?
It's too low as usual.

[invguy921]

I don't guess I understand how this guitar is still here???

Oh my goodness what a NICE guitar for the money. And...If Tim L has had his hands on it, you KNOW this one is tweaked to be even more amazing. Somebody needs to pick this one up!!

For anyone who doesn't already know (and most here do), Paul is just a SUPER guy to work with. Buy with confidence.

[Guitars44me]

Belated thanks to Birdsong and CRM for much needed help with the pics!!! You folks RAWK!

And Thanks Palolowarrior, and Mike for the nice comments!

It is a crazy world and a crazy market, but music still makes life better!
