2009 R. Taylor Style 2 Englemann Spruce & Striped Ebony
Description
R. Taylor guitars were a premium brand of limited run guitars once built by Taylor. No longer in production, the R. Taylor guitars currently in circulation are therefore more precious and desirable. I believe you can still commission yourself a superb BTO Taylor, but even their custom models don't seem to have the special elegance of these R. Taylor models.
Offered here is a superb R. Taylor Style 2 (grand concert size) guitar built in 2009. The Style 2 is a short scale (24-7/8"), 14-fret model with a 15" wide lower bout and a depth of 4-3/16". Other specs for this beauty include: an Engleman spruce top with light, forward shifted top bracing and solid ebony edge kerfing for a freely vibrating sound board; a gorgeous set of premium striped ebony for the back and sides; a multi-color abalone rosette; ebony for the binding, purfling, backstrip and heelcap; a 24-7/8" string scale, 14-fret, tropical Mahogany neck with R. Taylor's standard carve; an ebony fretboard with 15" radius, 1-3/4" bone nut and MOP side dots; an ebony belly bridge with bone saddle and 2-3/16" string spacing; a striped ebony headstock overlay; rosewood for the truss rod cover; and side mount tuners.
The Style 2 was designed with fingerstyle players in mind, but its Grand Concert size gives it an excellent output for flat picking. Listen to my included sound sample and I believe you will agree, this guitar has a clear voice with lots of definition. Chords ring with rich complexity and overtones. It has a fast, low profile neck and a great setup, with 12th fret string heights of 6/64" on the high E side and 4/64" on the high E side.
This beautiful guitar is in excellent condition with just a small 2” finish check and a tiny scratch on the back (see photo). I find no other flaws of any significance. The frets show no observable wear. It comes in its original Ameritage case with R. Taylor embroidered logo.
In that R. Taylor guitar are no longer being built, it is impossible to estimate the replacement cost of this guitar. Whatever the cost would be, you can be sure that it would be substantially higher than the price of this exquisite, pre-loved Instrument. Click the ‘Buy Now’ button and make it yours. You will be very glad you did!
