Incredible Taylor 615-CE Guitar for Sale

NO RESERVE

This is probably one of the finest guitars I have ever owned or played.  The taylor top of the line has incredible sustain and a bright booming sound.  What is best is that the base does not overwhelm the trebble and vice versa; in other words, very well ballanced guitar.  The features that I like best about this particular guitar is that it has a great Fishman blender pickup, cutaway for reaching the incredle 20 frets, 20 frets and the ebony fretboard that I think is the best material to provide a smooth quick feel when playing.

There are no issues with this guitar, no string buzzing; action is nice and low setup for finger style playing. The fishman electronics work perfectly. This guitar has the sound that Taylor guitars are known for plugged or unplugged.

If this guitar is so good, why would I sell it?  Because I liked it so much, I bought the 814 BCE 25th anniversary model.  This one REALLY set me back so I need to sell this beauty to help pay for that one.  Bottom line, YOU get a deal. 

This guitar is about 10 years old and in very good condition with some pic rash on the top where the pic guard and sound hole are and some scuffs at the top of the headstock which I have NO idea how they were done (I bought this way knowing that it has zero effect on the sound).  The guitar case is dusty looking with some marks, also one clasp is missing and does not work on the back side of the guitar.  I would give the guitar an 8.5 out of 10 being harsh and the case a 8.25 out of 10 for condition.  

NOTE: A question came up about the "D" tuner; I noticed there is a very slight amount of play on it but it stays tuned and does not affect tuning just fine. 

If you are looking for a NEW condition instrument, this is NOT your guitar.  If you want a damned good looking and playing guitar that has an incredible sound, this is your baby.

 Q: After 10 years, how is the fret wear? Thanks
A: I am not a luthier, but in my educated opinion, the frets show little wear for their age and are in very good condition. The guitar sounds awesome.
