815c Specs

[Bo]

Does anyone know where I can find specs on a '97 815c?  I am looking at one for sale in my area and don't know much about them.  Any opinions from a current or former owner of one would also be appreciated.  Also thoughts on fair pricing.
Thanks!

taylor was able to give me specs over the phone. do you have the serial #? that will help them.

Thanks zeebow.  The guitar is in another state, so the serial number is not readily available at the moment.  But calling Taylor is a good idea.  Thanks

Thanks zeebow and michaelw.  That information is very helpful!

That is a big guitar.  A 17" lower bout is a bit of a concern, as my neck and shoulders are getting a little cranky.  The guitar is 150 miles away and I need to decide if it's worth the drive.
