2005 Taylor T5-C1 Acoustic/Electric Hybrid Guitar

Overview: There is a steady following for T5s in this area and I barely ever have to adjust them after the first setup. They come in years later with a, "hey does this need tweaking?" ask and, invariably... nope! They're sturdy, practical, workhorse sorts of guitars that do a lot of things well. They're also loud-enough (on the very quiet side) to sit on a couch and work on songs acoustically, too.


Interesting features: This one has a pretty, flamed maple top and an attractive, Gibson-esque sunburst finish. It's got the usual gold-plated fittings and the build quality and fit is all up to Taylor's usual high standards. This one has been babied so it's very clean for its age.


Repairs included: It got a light setup and that was all it needed. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: While there may be mild usewear here and there, I'm not finding it. The frets are so lightly-worn that we didn't do a level/dress job and that's bog-standard for us. It's clean!
