FS: Taylor K24ce koa guitar ***(APPROVED)***
« on: March 20, 2019, 02:20:53 PM »
This is a 2011 Taylor koa K24ce guitar.  It has the most beautiful, curly, flamed koa I have ever seen on a Taylor. It breaks my heart to sell it, but it is just too big for me - I have realized that I really need a 12 fret to the body guitar to avoid pain in my shoulder while playing.  I had the tuners upgraded to Gotoh 510 tuners (see headstock photo) and also bought a Crossrock fiberglass, leather-covered case for it (see photo).

The guitar is in wonderful condition, but has a couple of small scratches and blemishes/marks, so I have chosen very good condition for its description. The case is also in good shape, but also has a couple of marks on it as well.

Please note: the item does NOT come with the stand it is pictured upon. 

SPECS:

Nut Width: 1.73"
1st Fret: 0.81"
9th Fret: 0.85"
Neck Type: Thin
Finger Board: Ebony
Pickups: Expression System
Weight: 4lb 8oz

I am asking $2250 or best offer (with free shipping).  No trades please, as I have already ordered a custom 12-fret to the body koa to take its place.  Thank you for looking.

Thanks!  It is so beautiful, I really struggled a long time over whether to sell it. But I'm only 5'4" and have these crazy, short Tyrannosaurus Rex arms.  So since I play it classical style, the reach on the 14-fret neck is just too big for me to play comfortably.  The good news is that I bought a 12-fret custom koa NAMM piece Taylor concert body that should be arriving on Friday.  (Yes, I obsessively check the FedEx tracking every thirty seconds even though it is still two days away).  So I'm hoping to find this one a good home.  She is a really lovely guitar, just not the right one for me.  I hope it makes someone else very happy. :)

I got a question about the small scratches and marks on this guitar, so here are some photos of them.
