R Taylor Style 1 Cocobolo w/Engelmann Top - Outstanding!

This is a 2006 R Taylor Style 1 Acoustic with highly figured Cocobolo back and sides and an Engelmann Spruce Top. They literally aren't making R Taylor guitars anymore and this is an excellent example of some of their great guitars.

Here are the facts:
This guitar was built in 2006 and is their Style 1 model
Cocobolo back and sides with Engelmann spruce top with Rosewood binding
Tropical mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard
Modified X bracing
65' radius top geometry
1 3/4" nut
Standard neck shape
Gotoh 510 Tuners
25 1/2" scale
K&K Pure Mini acoustic pickup installed
Only one ding and that is shown of picture of lower top edge. Other wear is minor.
Guitar is in excellent condition for a 13 year old piece.
Original hard shell R Taylor case is included. Excellent condition.

R Taylor was a boutique shop in a corner of the Taylor factory, using selected personnel, custom build techniques where appropriate, and premium materials from Bob's wood stash. It was like the custom shop for Taylor at the time.

This piece is one of my favorite acoustic guitars. R Taylor guitars are very comfortable and easy to play. Everything about them feels at home when you pick them up. The cocobolo on this guitar gives it that deep, rich tone with good sustain. Yet it also tightens the response for better clarity and note definition. Expect rich tone from across the entire spectrum with this guitar. It is great for many styles from finger picking to vigorous strumming. Another reason why it is one of my favorites - it is just a great and versatile guitar.

$3495 plus shipping. PayPal ok, but you pay fees. No trades please.
