You will put your Martin down to play this Taylor!

This instrument features a solid Sitka spruce top and highly sought-after Indian Rosewood back and sides — a combination no longer available in Taylor’s current production line. Known for its warm overtones, exceptional projection, and elegant aesthetics, this guitar represents the pinnacle of Taylor’s 1990s craftsmanship.

The tone is rich, resonant, and full of life, with a booming low end that has only improved with age thanks to the decades-old tonewoods. The sound is powerful yet balanced, ideal for both fingerstyle and strumming.

For comparison, a modern-day Taylor 815C is priced around $4,000 — and that’s without the beautiful tonal depth that 30+ years of natural wood aging brings to this guitar. Here, you’re not just getting a rare, signed vintage example — you’re getting a richer sound that new instruments simply cannot replicate.
