About this listing
This guitar has been meticulously maintained--stored in case with Boveda humidifier packs, fretboard and bridge treated, gently used and never played out. There are a couple of very small impressions just above and below the top-side of the bridge and a very small scratch in the finish, but they are only visible from certain angles and I was unable to photograph them in a useful way. There are also some light pick marks on the guard. There is no buckle rash or dings in the beautiful binding. This guitar looks great.Please note this is a smaller guitar (it's a grand concert), so be sure you understand the size to make sure this is what you're looking for. The YouTube link has a demo/review video that will give you a better idea of the size and sound.It's a beautiful 12-string that's priced under market value (this guitar listed for $2,899 new), so get it before it's gone.Guitar OverviewThis 2020 552ce V-Class 12-Fret Grand Concert 12-string acoustic-electric guitar features a Western Red Cedar top and a mahogany bottom, with Taylor’s V-Class bracing. The guitar’s slim neck profile and low action result in the most comfortable "hand feel" possible in a 12-string guitar. Refined aesthetic appointments add to the elegant charm, and the instrument ships the original Taylor deluxe hard shell case.Body ShapeTaylor's Grand Concert is a smaller sized guitar. Its intimate size and slightly condensed fret spacing makes it lap/couch-friendly, and a great fit for players who find smaller instruments more physically comfortable. Despite its smaller size, it has strong projection and sounds like a bigger instrument. Tonewood PairingThe guitar’s top is Western Red Cedar, which produces a warm, played-in sound. The back is tropical mahogany, which is known for a meaty midrange featuring and a clear and direct tonal character.ElectronicsThe 552ce includes Taylor’s Expression System 2 with patented behind-the-saddle pickup and professional-grade preamp, producing exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.V-Class BracingTaylor's V-Class bracing is a fundamental innovation in acoustic guitar design, boosting volume, sustain, and producing clear, consistent intonation. V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound “off.”
