I bought this beautiful electro-acoustic guitar directly from Lloyd Cole in 2013. He bought it in 1989. The guitar has only had careful home use from me and is in identical condition to when I bought it. It is in great condition but as Lloyd's gigging guitar for years has a small area of buckle rash (Lloyd's not mine!) on the back and a hard to see crack in the neck just below the headstock which Lloyd had repaired by Taylor (see photos). Here's a bit about it from Lloyd's website before he sold it to me: "I also have a Koa Taylor K22 from 1989 that was my main guitar for the live show. It's a great sounding guitar but it's not replaceable. So I'm reserving it for studio use only. Of all my guitars, this guitar is on the most recordings." Among the many recordings he used this on are the Radio Bremen live album and he also refers to is as the "Trigger Happy guitar". Naturally I can provide authentication - also when Lloyd sold it to me as a fan he wanted it to go to an appreciative home and I would like to continue that!
If you can get past the rather fawning interview the attached video showcases the guitar quite well.
