Well I scored.
BTW: I have never really experienced the Taylor playability before. This is my first one after playing acoustics for 50 years.
What I realize is the neck is perfect. The 15" fretboard radius is so great. The slight V is incredible. I wonder if this is 25.5", scale?
It is my first cutaway that I can freely play way up in the cutaway without added finger pressure.
To top it off this 9 year old All KOA is outstanding in tone. Not quiet like my Goodall's but really great harmonics on most frets and good round overtone notes. Also it was really played in for 9 years and the previous owner must have been a good guitar player because there is no cowboy chord wear but a ton of pick marks. Along with back, belt buckle scratches. So you know this thing has thousands of hours.
I am now going to look into replacement tuners and maybe upgrading the electronics.
