FS: $4250 MINT Taylor Custom BTO Grand Concert 12fret AA koa guitar

[wickedwahine]

*This guitar will be unavailable from August 10 - September 2 as I will be out of town and unable to ship during that time. *

This is a built to order “custom” Taylor AA koa grand concert guitar in MINT new condition. It has a 12 fret to the body configuration. It also features a huge amount of upgrades, including a figured maple armrest, a satin neck finish, Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, as well as a Venetian cutaway. It has not been played and the dealer I bought it from has instructed me that because it is not registered yet, he will have the full warranty transferred to the buyer after a purchase. It had an MSRP of $9100 from Taylor, and I paid $8200, but I am looking for $4250. Specs for the Taylor (which was picked up from the dealer on 7/10/19 in new condition) are listed below.

I love the way this guitar was spec'd out. All the options just work and blend well. the contrast with the arm bevel is beautiful. Good luck with the sale.

I saw your BTO thread. I'm curious why this didn't work out for you--what made you want to sell it?

I just didn’t end up liking the wood they chose for the soundboard - there is a small knot on the bottom right side. I love the wood on the back, if that had been the top, I would have been thrilled and would keep it. It feels great, sounds good, but I just didn’t bond with the appearance. So I bought a Santa Cruz Firefly instead that is perfect for me, and am selling this to help finance that and the payoff I just made this week of an Emerald nylon guitar.

Bump, with a price drop to $5750 or best offer. I am hoping to get this one sold before I leave the country for a month, so any reasonable offer will be entertained.

That's a beautiful instrument. Take a bump from me
