2000 Taylor 355 12-String Jumbo Acoustic Guitar


Overview: This is an older Taylor, now, but despite some cosmetic funk in the finish here and there on the back and sides, it's in good shape and only needed minor work to get it playing spot-on. It has a good, chimey, jingle-jangle, strum-box sound and a quick, easy neck. I'd previously set this up for its owner some moons ago and it arrived-back playing just as it left. The pickup system is on the older side but works just fine.


Repairs included: I gave it a quick setup, restring, and light cleaning the last time I had it here. This time I just needed to tune it up and dust off the shoulders. Its playing spot-on and is ready to go.

Condition notes: There's disturbance in the clearcoat of the satin finish around the heel, on the back near the neckblock and endblock, and near the nut at the headstock. There's a longer line of clearcoat disturbance near the endblock that looks like a hairline crack but I didn't see any evidence of one on the inside so I expect it started with a bump at some point. I didn't level and dress the frets as there was no need -- they're only very lightly worn. 


It comes with: Sorry, no case.
