Taylor 312ce (2014) in excellent condition. All solid wood, spruce top, sapele back and sides. I purchased this guitar online from Fuller’s in Texas in December of 2014. It has a 2014 build date, per the serial number.
I had the back and sides of the guitar professionally buffed to a gloss finish by a local luthier (I’ll include the invoice for that modification in the case). He did a great job with it, and I think it looks and feels much nicer with the all-gloss finish; it really brings out the wood grain in the sapele. It did not affect the tone of the guitar at all. I only had him buff the body (back and sides) so it would match the top. The neck was left alone and is the standard satin finish. I liked the luthier's work so much that I had it done to another guitar. Please feel free to ask questions about this if you want to know more or have concerns.
The guitar sounds great, and has never left the house. It’s been stored with a Boveda Humidity system while not in use. Fret wear is almost non-existent. Pickguard has an area of swirling/scratches. I can include a replacement OEM black pickguard, if you want.
It has the ES2 pickup system, and obviously includes the OHSC. It has one very small ding on the back (about the size of a pin head), and an extremely shallow impression on the top, treble side lower bout near the binding. I’ve included pictures of the areas where the dings are, but I seriously cannot get them to show up in pictures. The top impression is too shallow, and the back grain/gloss hides it in photos. I did circle the area on the top, but it doesn't show up in pics. If this is an issue for you, I can try again in different light. They're cosmetic only, and they don't break the finish.
I haven’t played it very much in recent years, as I’ve been mostly playing my 12-fretters. So it’s been sitting unplayed.
$1250 shipped/insured via FedEx. Would consider a trade for a Gibson LG-2 AE (2016 or newer) or a LA Guitar Sales Martin 00-15 (with the gloss, binding and 1 3/4 nut)
