I had one of these and sold it only because of arthritis. These are remarkable guitars and this is a very fair price.

I have had a couple, from the mid 90s. What skinnerb said is true!

BTW, apparently the 555c (with a few tweaks) was the inspiration for the Leo Kottke signature model.

Dollar for dollar, the Taylor 555 is about the best 12 string I've played/owned. Great price on this one. No affiliation with the seller--just sayin'

I'm in Columbus. I'm interested if it has a pickup system. Meet in person and cash.
