That said you could find a TRD for not too much more in the used market.

The other differences are rosewood in lieu of ebony for the bridge and fretboard, a cheaper set of tuners (mine are upgraded to Waverley’s), and a standard black tolex case instead of the deluxe tweed H&D case.
No matter, the instant you get your hands on an RD-R, you forget what it doesn’t have, and appreciate everything it does.
New RD-R’s are selling for about $2700, street. I would not pay more than 2/3 of that, or ~$1800 for a used one. But it may very well be the best $1800 you ever spent on an acoustic guitar.
