1995 Talor 855

Almost thirty years old and brilliantly so, this most wonderful Jumbo Taylor is as good as it gets in a 12-string guitar, just cannot be beat. Bob Taylor’s first hand-made guitar, long before he built up the Taylor Company, was a Jumbo 12-string, and he took off from there setting the guitar world on fire with everything he did. With its 17” body, beautifully straight-grained Indian rosewood back and sides and ultra-fine grained Sitka spruce top, the tones that you'll hear, with no exceptions, are bold, bright, and BIG. Top-grade ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and compensated saddle, and perfect, gold-plated Grover mini-tuners complete the appointments package. In wonderfully clean condition with barely a scratch on it, obviously lovingly kept, and a perfect action completely gone over by us for top, top playability. Comes with Taylor's house-made best hard shell case (no one else does that). It doesn't get any better than this in a high-end 12-string guitar and hardly ever gets nearly as great. $1795 w/ohsc
