Title: Sold - Mint 2014 522e 12 Fret (all mahogany gem)
Post by: Sprintbob on April 09, 2017, 06:50:54 AM

Excellent Condition, no dings or scratches, just some minor pick swirls on the gloss black pickguard. All mahogany construction, short scale, 1-3/4" nut width, ebony fretboard and bridge, ivoroid body and neck bindings. The guitar is simple and elegant in appearance.

Wonderful, balanced tone with excellent playability in the GC 12 fret body design. I added a set of gold Powerpins that I believe enhance the tone and make it very easy to install strings. I will include the original ebony bridge pins also if new owner wants to remove or I can swap out if buyer wants the original bridge pins. Includes OHSC which is perfect (this guitar has never left the house). This guitar includes the Taylor ES2 pickup and pre-amp system also.

One of Taylor's best selling guitars. $1,600 with shipping included to anywhere ConUS. That'll save you $1K over buying new.

Here's some links with audio clips and reviews of the 522:

The following link is a great comparison to the Martin 000-15SM. The aesthetics are certainly different and the biggest tonal difference is the 522e has a brighter top end which is what you would expect with the Taylor tone.
