$2,995 · Taylor 522e 12-Fret

Selling my Taylor 522e 12-Fret in a stunning shaded edgeburst. The tropical mahogany with its balance, articulation, and mid-range punch makes it perfect for old-time music, fingerstyle blues and vocal accompaniment. This guitar has been used to record albums – it records beautifully and is a wonderful live instrument – most recently used at Vancouver Island MusicFest this year. The guitar is in excellent condition with the exception of a couple of nicks and some guitar stand scuffs on the lower bout on the back side. It has been serviced exclusively by Rufus Stewart in Parksville, and has been kept in it's case with D'addario Humidification Kit when not in use. This is a fantastic high-end instrument that would suit a serious player or aspiring musician. Guitar is located in Nanoose Bay, near Parksville. From Taylor: Taylor's compact Grand Concert 12-fret guitars deliver a uniquely inspiring playing experience. The shorter 12-fret neck and 24-7/8-inch scale length create a slinky handfeel that makes fretting and bending strings easier, and the different bridge placement articulates the top in a way that produces a remarkably powerful voice for a small body. Noteworthy aesthetic touches include a shaded edgeburst body and neck, faux tortoise shell binding, a rosette of faux tortoise shell framed by grained ivoroid, and a grained ivoroid Century fretboard inlay. With Taylor's onboard ES2 pickup and preamp, all your expressive playing nuances will translate into your amplified sound. This Grand Concert guitar ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
