Smile FS. 98 Taylor W-14c. Dialed and CLEAN. SOLD ON REVERB

SOLD ON REVERB. PLAY PRETTY AND TUNE OFTEN....




Sadly need to sell this gorgeous 1998 Taylor W-14-c. With OHSC

Killer Cedar top over beautiful flamed Claro Walnut back and sides

Link to Reverb for more info and many pics:

https://reverb.com/item/7164878-tayl...c-1998-natural

No electronics, no extra holes! Plenty of beautiful abalone bling!!!

All braces, binding, and bridge secure and correct.

Super smooth Gold Grover tuners are nice and clean.

1.75" Nut, 2 3/16" saddle spacing, 14 frets to the body. Typical 90s neck profile, which is very much like the current "slim carve"

Very little play wear, a couple small dings on the top drop filled and buffed, and a few small finish dings on the back top of headstock. See detailed pics below... many more on Reverb.

Perfectly set up, and In excellent condition. Just back from a nice Spa vacation at Taylor Repair in El Cajon. My good buddy Tim Luranc brought her up to spec, and beyond with a neck set, upgraded bone nut and saddle, six brand new frets, complete fret dress and much more kind attention. See Repair ticket in pics.

This guitar is ready to rock for another 20 years or more!

For those who do not know, Tim L was the first Taylor employee, and was working at American Dream when Bob T and Kurt L bought it. He was Head Luthier in charge of R.Taylor for their entire six year production. Now he is Senior Repair Tech in El Cajon. Tim Luranc's setups can not be beat.

Taylor's current estimate of value is $4,500!

Was $2,675. Then 2495, then $2350, NOW 12/11/17 ONLY $2225 net to me.

Will super well packed, shipped insured (of course) ConUS

Play on AGF! This crazy world needs more real music

Please ask any questions. Always glad to talk on the phone with AGF folks, too. PM me with your # and I will call asap!

Cheers

Smile Up from page four

This has been hung with a Tone-Rite a bunch of times for a week at a time now. I am always pleased with how they sound better for the attention. Sounded VERY NICE in the first place.

Plays like butter after TLC. (Tim Luranc Care)

OFFERS? Something must go...

Play on AGF!

Cheers

Paul

Any "Golden Age" Taylor fans?

These are much closer to a boutique build than the new ones. This is good to go!

Needs nothing!!!

Happy MONDAY to all

Cheers

Paul

Hey Paul - Looks like you're parting with some of your personal favorites, maybe getting ready to do some new damage...? Best with this sale....Robert

Smile Nice one for sure

Thanks Roberts.

This is a super warm and very clear sounding axe and plays like butter, too.

I have dropped all my prices on Reverb, but they are still less spendy here on AGF!

If you are interested I will consider offers... this deserves more play than I can give it!

Play on, AGF!

Cheers

Paul

Paul this looks like a GREAT deal on one of those coveted late 90's models. According to most people in the know, these were some of the best that Taylor ever made.

Gorgeous guitar! Best of luck on the sale!

I already have 6 Taylors from ranging from '95-'98, don't need a 7th...but I can say, these are not the same guitars Taylor makes now. Someone needs to grab this to experience how great their guitars from this era are.

I used to have one of these and it was great versatile guitar. It sounded very open too. You can’t go wrong especially with this one having just received the Tim L TLC treatment.

Smile Happy Friday bump

Thanks to all for the nice comments on this wonderful Golden Era Taylor.
And Me! Haha

I played this yesterday for over an hour and it should be a keeper for someone!!!

There are good reasons these mid 90s Taylors are so well respected.

No worries with this beauty. All the potential hassles of an internet buy have been taken care of by Tim Luranc at Taylor Repair in El Cajon! Ready to go right out of the shipping box... after tuning of course!

MORE OFFERS?

Cheers

Paul
