    Sold

    2007 R. Taylor Style 1 Swiss Alpine Spruce Madagascar Rosewood

    This is one beautiful sounding guitar with really big, wide, balanced tone. The tonewoods on it feature a Swiss Alpine Moon Spruce top, gorgeous Master Grade Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, and Adirondack Spruce bracing. The Tropical Mahogany neck features a slim carve and a 1 13/16" width nut for easy, roomy playing. It features an asymmetrical X bracing pattern and 65' geometry. This guitar works equally well for any kind of pick playing and responds great for fingerstyle. It has great harmonics and a rich full bass. It kills in alternate tunings as well. If you don’t recall the brand, R. Taylor was Bob Taylor’s personal small shop label and the few of these guitars that were built are entirely hand made by his most experienced luthiers using the most select materials available. There are some light signs of use in the headstock and neck, but the body is shining and looks great after a professional and nearly invisible repair on the lower bout. This guitar sounds really rich and full and plays like a dream. It is gig-ready with a Taylor Stealth ES pick-up system installed and it’s original hard shell case.

    2016 Santa Cruz OMG Italian Spruce Indian Rosewood

    It is not often that we have an East Indian Rosewood OMG (Orchestra Model Grand) come through our doors and one in such excellent condition as this. If you have never tried an OMG before, it is like an OM but a little bigger so it has more growl, more punch more boom. One might think after playing it that the OMG stands for "Oh My ..." It is that good. Premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides gives this instrument excellent balance between bass, mids and treble. Having an Italian spruce top, this instrument has extra sparkle in the high-end and a crisp clarity that makes this guitar shimmer. All of this is accentuated by the slightly larger size of this guitar giving it presence and authority with every strum and melody. Little to no fret-wear. Light wear on the pick-guard. No dings nor dents on the guitar itself. We will miss this one when it is gone!

  • 2019 Taylor 714ce LTD
    Sold

    2019 Taylor 714ce LTD

    Capitalizing on the opportunity to play with new tonewood combinations for Taylor's limited edition guitars, this 2019 714ce LTD features a unique combination of Indian rosewood back and sides with a sinker redwood top. Indian rosewood is an all-star tonewood with a vibrant sonic personality that ranges from warm and responsive in the bass range to rich and shimmery on the treble end, with a scooped midrange that makes it an ideal wood choice for guitarists who sing while they play. Sinker redwood, though, might be even more alluring—sourced from sunk logs found in California riverbeds, this tonewood takes on a gorgeous striped red hue and a tone profile with serious attitude, often described as cedar on steroids. You’ll find much of cedar’s warmth and soft-touch response here, plus the added power and headroom that sinker redwood brings. This model is also outfitted with V-Class bracing for enhanced volume and sustain, which also helps pull out more of rosewood’s natural overtonal complexity. Artfully detailed with abalone inlays and koa body binding, this limited edition 714ce is truly a rare find, and includes ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.
