Hey Rick,
Unfortunately we don't have that documentation available. Older models are hard to find specs for. Usually a specific one is more likely to be found with the serial number. We also don't have that information readily available in any catalogs.

Subject: Re: Specs for 1997 and 1998 Taylor 810 LTD
Hi,
Thanks for your reply about the 810's referenced below. Some follow up questions - do you have a spec sheet, catalog entry, or other advertising/NAMM show details regarding the 1998 810-LTD?
Also, what would be the tonal and neck profile similarities/differences comparing this 1998 810-LTD, an '89 810, and '87 810, and a '94 810?
Lastly, where can I get a listing of all the Limited Edition Taylor guitars (with specs and descriptions) over the years?
If any of this is available online, please send me the link to old catalogs or whatever.
THANKS!
Rick

Hey Rick,
Thanks for reaching out. It reflected our new Dreadnought shape (introduced at the Winter'97 NAMM show) and came standard with an abalone top, but otherwise was the same as a standard 810 (Sitka spruce top, E.Indian rosewood back/sides, etc.) I hope this has been helpful. Have a great day!

Hi,
What are the specs for a 1997 or 1998 Taylor 810 LTD ? And in particular, serial number 970411128.
What makes them different from standard 810's from those same years?
Thanks
