Description
What makes this guitar special: 2006 marked Taylor’s introduction of the Grand Symphony model, a model that would defy the conventional dreadnought thought process, and usher in a new era of success for the company. This 2006 GS Rosewood model marks the first year of production for these models, before they would go on to be called the GS8, and ultimately the 16 series. This particular piece is in remarkable condition, and appears to have been case kept for most of its life. Buy yourself a piece of Taylor history-and rest assured knowing it comes completely setup by one of our expert in-house luthiers.
Cosmetic condition: Excellent condition, with almost no visible wear to speak of. There is one small scratch on the fingerboard on the 2nd fret, and another on the 12th. A sliver of the binding has chipped away right behind the neck joint, but this in no way affects the integrity of the joint.
