2004 Taylor XXX-MC

Taylor's XXX series guitars were built in limited numbers in celebration of the company's 30th anniversary. This XXX-MC is a lavishly appointed Grand Concert built of 5A South American mahogany and Taylor's highest grade western red cedar. Only 250 of this model were built and each features a uniquely numbered label that was hand-signed by both Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug. This example is #120, and is dated July 28th 2004. The guitar features intricate pearl purflings around the top, ivoroid bindings, and Taylor's unique 30th Anniversary fingerboard inlay in pearl and gold. Slotted headstock with front and back ebony overlays, Waverly engraved tuners and pearl logo. 24.9” scale, 1-3/4” nut.

The guitar is in immaculate condition and is 100% original. There is no finish wear, save for a tiny bit of finish delimitation near the neck heel, only slight playwear to the original frets, and the in-shop set-up offers a light fingerstyle feel. Beyond its incredible beauty and exquisite tonewoods, the guitar is among the best sounding Taylor guitars we've encountered. Its aged tonewoods, light build, and short-scale Grand Auditorium body work in conjunction to offer up a full, clear, mature and balanced tone that's not shy on bass end presence or treble string power.
