1997 Taylor 510-LTD Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - Original Owner

Description

What makes this guitar special:
In 1997 I ordered this guitar directly over the phone from Bob Taylor, who told me he designed it for himself. It's a delightful dreadnought with wonderful clarity & a bright, snappy voice. In great shape -- with a rich tone built over the 24+ years that its wood has seasoned over time. Played occasionally - every few years - by me, the original owner -- who never got
good enough to play often. It's time to give it up.
Cosmetic Condition:
Great shape overall, but has a few nicks, cracks, & surface scratches. Laminate cracking over a few inches on one side (see last photo) & surface crack on top made me bring it into the best music store in town where their head guitar specialist said it's cosmetic and that nothing needs fixing.
Neck:
Slender profile mahogany neck with ivoroid binding & black side-dots. Ebony fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Bound headstock with Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body:
Solid Sitka Spruce top. Ebony bridge & end pins with abalone dot inlays. Tortoise pickguard & multi-ring rosette. Solid mahogany back & sides with single-ply binding. Guitar weighs 4 lbs 5.4 oz.
Case:
Original hardshell case included.
