1997 Taylor Grand Concert 712 in excellent condition. The quick drill. The back and sides are beautiful straight grained Indian rosewood with no cutaway (okay, how oftren do you play thooes leads way up there, anyway?). The top is solid tight-grained Sitka Spruce (now a custom order item since they went to cedar). It has a slightly aged toner... not that glaring too-bright, freshly-cut-spruce look. Abalone rossett, ebony bridge and fret board with dot inlay, chrome tuners and, last but not least, low action. This guitar just feels "slinky", (isn't that how they discribe those Martin OM's ?) making those bluesy bends so much more soulful, and those tenth fret bar chords a breeze. Electronics...sorry, it aint got any, cus this one is "untouched" you can decide if/how you want to break it in. It's in great condition, check out the pictures. If you're interested in taylors then you already know the specs on size, neckwidth etc. A great 14 frets to the body guitar that is beautifully balanced, clear as a bell, that has great sustain and warmth. A joy to play, a joy to behold. Comes with original hard shell case and miscellaneous paper work from those conscientious, thoughful folks at Taylor. I know...this is used, but just barely. You won't find one in this condition.
