Taylor 522CE Electro-Acoustic Guitar

For sale is my Taylor 522CE electro-acoustic guitar.

They say:

“Newly enhanced with our game-changing V-Class bracing design, this all-mahogany cutaway Grand Concert packs plenty of mahogany’s signature midrange warmth and focus into a lap-friendly body size. The hardwood mahogany top adds natural compression across the tonal spectrum, which helps smooth out your attack to produce a linear response that tracks well for solo recording and playing with other instruments. V-Class bracing delivers even more projection and sustain, while serving up beautifully calibrated intonation. The shorter-scale (24-7/8-inch) neck helps with fretting and bending strings, making this a fun option for blues and other roots music genres. The modern-vintage aesthetic includes a shaded edgeburst body and neck, faux tortoise shell binding, a rosette of faux tortoise shell framed by grained ivoroid, and a grained ivoroid Century fretboard inlay. A Venetian cutaway invites you up the guitar neck, while Taylor’s plug-and-play ES2 acoustic electronics relay the guitar’s natural sonic nuances in an amplified setting”.

I bought this new on a whim earlier this year, but have only played it about a dozen times (at home only), so it is in mint condition. I’m really an electric player and this is far too good for my limited acoustic abilities. A guitar of this quality shouldn’t be just sat on the wall, although it does look very nice up there, so I’ve decided to sell. 

With the original case and even the original box it came in.

I have plenty more pictures if you want them.

This is a chance to buy what is effectively a new guitar and save a few quid (PMT lists the 12-fret version of this at £2787 and GAK at £2668). Only the 12-fret versions seem to be available at the moment, with Andertons having no 522ce of any type available.

Price: £1995 + delivery (~£15.50 Next Day Courier, England, Wales & Southern Scotland)

Any interest at all?

Tfb is mainly an electric players forum, acoustics take a looooooong time to sell especially high end, you're better off waiting for a £1 value fee ebay offer

Thanks Strangefan, you might well be right.
