This s a genuine 1980s Taylor from the Lemon Grove facility in California, made back when they were making relatively small batches of instruments and when Bob Taylor still had a hand in their production. This guitar has been well played and loved and as you would expect, it has many small marks and dings and some belt rash and finish crazing etc., but it remains attractive and has no cracks and it is in good playing condition with a straight neck and comfortable action, and best of all, a lovely aged tone. It has on old style piezo pickup installed but it does not work well at this point, so whoever buys this instrument might want to sub in their own favorite pickup. Comes with a hard shell molded plastic case.
