1999 Taylor 812c + LR Baggs M1 Active pickup (SOLD)
SOLD
Here is an amazing looking and sounding extra high end acoustic guitar from Taylor. Known for their master craftman’s attention to detail, Taylor Guitars are widely considered to be the best sounding and easiest to play in the world. The 8 and 9 series guitars are the top of the range guitars in their line up.
Taylor’s rosewood/spruce Grand Concert is all about articulation and intimacy. It’s a finger style favourite for its balanced and focused response and makes a perfect recording guitar, as it fits well with other instruments. Check my demo video out, it’s was so easy to play on it and it sounds nice, loud and warm!
Solid rosewood back and sides, spruce top, ebony fingerboard and bridge, grover tuners, amazing abalone inlays and a fantastic quality Taylor hard case with its candy.
This guitar is in EXCELLENT, very looked after condition for it’s age. It’s 16 years old so you can expect a few little sign of wear but nothing to worry about. It looks, plays and sounds amazing. It’s nicely opened up, dried out and has a bit of yellow ageing.
It comes with a TOP OF THE RANGE, Multi awarded LR Baggs M1 Active Pickup (active magnetic humbucker pickup for soundhole mounting, includes endpin jack socket), check the LR Baggs website, bare in mind this is the most expensive m1 series pickup, M1 Active: http://www.lrbaggs.com/pickups/m1-acoustic-guitar-pickup. It’s worth alone £180.
Well, a brand new Taylor 812 would cost you way over £2200 and even a Taylor 412 would be above the £1600 mark. You can have this great pre-owned 8 series example for lower price than a new 4 series Taylor: £1275. If you don’t mind a few little marks then you can have an amazing, very prestigious guitar for the price of a much lower range, but new one. SOLD
