Title: Thinking about a Taylor?

I found a 2003 W10. Could you tell me your opinions of the guitar? Thanks for your feed back!

If you like the sound and feel of dreadnoughts, this guitar may not sound like the classic rosewood or mahogany dreadnought. Walnut has the immediate response of maple, but with added depth and power.  I'm a big fan of walnut backed guitars as I have two walnut Taylor grand auditoriums. I love the tonal clarity of these guitars.

So Taylor IMO does walnut better than almost anyone else. I hope you find what you're looking for. Thanks for your service.

Thank you sir....I appreciate the info. I really liked the W10.  For it's age, it was in good shape, and It felt very "played in". I think it had some mojo for sure. Still thinking about it. at xx bucks, not a bad deal, but not cheap by any stretch of the imagination either.

As I recall, the aesthetics are pretty nice on that model as well, which may be part of the higher price. Hope it all works out for you!
