Esteemed AGFers, may I offer:
Very Very clean 98 w-14c. No E
Sounds Fantastic and plays perfectly.
Original list price was $4250 in 1998!!! No longer available in this 1990s configuration
AGF TRADE IN PROGRESS...
Walnut/Cedar G.A. (16" Lower Bout)
Cutaway, but No electronics. Ever.
Was up on Reverb:

Only issues are SMALL and purely cosmetic.
One small ding above the big string, now dropfilled and buffed. A tiny bit of finish lift at neck heel from former neck set. Now glued and stabilized at Taylor. And a bit of finish lift on the back. Pics show these issues in harsh light! These were not uncommon at this time due to the ultra thin UV finish, which did help the tone and volume. Hard to spot these cosmetic booboos due to the major figure in the Walnut. But we want no surprises so please check all pics!
Major BLING. Beautiful Abalone galore.
Extremely light weight.
Pink Poodle case in outstanding condition! Looks new!!!
Recent spa vacation at Taylor for COMPLETE RENEW PROCEDURE!
Now has Beautiful Jescar EVO Hard gold color frets, new neck set, and perfect set up by Taylor Repair Senior Tech, Pat Quinn.
Super clean stable original Grovers.
Played a LOT! but super well taken care of.
The original owner wore out the frets, which he did not disclose in the sale listed as MINT. But it sounded so good I decided to give it the works!
Not getting the love my 12 frets get. And too Primo for me to gig...
The new ones do not compare, to my ears or hands.
This era Taylors compare well to Santa Cruz, Collings, Bourgeois, Goodall, Huss and Dalton, and other smaller shops. WAY more human work involved than now...
This is a VERY GOOD ONE even for this era. This caused much commotion and favorable comment at Taylor Repair!
25.5" scale
1.75" Nut
2 3/16" string spacing at Saddle
Slim "electric" neck typical of the "Golden Era Taylors". Much like new "Slim Carve" but considerably less mass in the heel due to the pre NT construction.
Will be detuned to C, swaddled like a baby and beyond pro packed.
I ship USPS third Day Priority packed for interstellar travel, swaddled like fine china, and insured on my Heritage account.
