Schweet guitar, and a fantastic man to work with. What a combination!!

This one shouldn't last long as Style 2's are in high demand. I've worked with Alan on several occasions and he's the real deal folks.

Buy with confidence.

[Guitars44me]

Nice one here, folks.

Do not confuse these RTs with any standard Taylor.

And Alan ROCKS

CHEERS

Mike and Paul ,

I appreciate your kind words.
This is a great piece.

[Chedeng88]

That bear claw is just out of this world! Someone’s gonna get a really special RT from one of the nicest AGFers around.

[Carmel Cedar]

This is my former RT. Love the guitar, has a booming tone and easy playability of this premium line, and the bear claw Sitka top and lovely EIR make it a real looker.

Alan is wonderful to work with, and defines what integrity and reliability should be. Cant find a finer person on the forum to buy from!

Rye,
This is one of the most “busiest “ looking bear clawed SItka that I’ve come across. It’s aged beautifully providing an amazing tonal quality and aesthetics well beyond any young piece of topwood.

Looking further, one can see that East Indian RW is also not just something off the lumber rack. It too is a very well seasoned tonewoods. The back is so well matched and has a very deep color.

The sides match so perfectly as it comes together at the end jack as if it were one piece.

An exceptional axe indeed.

Andy,
Your comments are well received. This RT2 does separate itself from any Taylor custom shop piece.

Melodic, deep tones.

Aloha

[palolowarrior]

Probably the wildest bear clawing on any sitka spruce.

[Guitars44me]

I certainly can vouch for this instrument! As it was me who ordered it, to my specs...

This top and sides were hand selected from R.Taylor's stash of Taylor's absolute finest tonewoods.

The slim carve RT neck is "very electric" in feel, just like a mid 90s Taylor. The new ones are a bit beefier.

Small hand guys who still want 1 3/4" nut. Here ya go.

Alan is strictly top shelf to deal with.

No way to go wrong on this

Cheers

Paul

Now considering a trade for 00, h13, Nick Lucas deep body, etc.

[palolowarrior]

Nice guitar.
Well kept.
Great sound.

[Transylvania]

Not in the market for this one, but endorsed by three top-shelf guys here on the forum. Alan, Paul, and Andy. I speak first hand as I have done multiple deals with these gentlemen and they each have exquisite taste in guitars. Deal with confidence!

[palolowarrior]

Mahalo (Thank you) Bob,

I appreciate your kind words.

Happy Fourth of July everyone.

[palolowarrior]

This guitar is growing on me.
Tonally so sweet and heavy.
Aesthetically top bear claw screams at you.
The EIR is quite dark and rich.
