This Taylor 12-string is a Custom Built To Order (BTO) model that was spec'ed by Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto, CA. I am the original owner and purchased it New in Sept 2019 from Gryphon. Original receipt included. The body size is Taylor Grand Auditorium, which makes it extremely comfortable to play versus other body styles/sizes.
This guitar has NO scratches or dings. It's mint and sounds incredible. The condition is actually more like "New" but I cannot claim it's new because I've owned it for two years and rarely ever played it. Literally kept in it's case for 2 years. Some of my photos have a little bit of reflection from the room lighting ... if you see anything in these photos that looks like a blemish then it's just glare or reflections.
$100 shipping fee is for UPS Ground shipping within the continental USA. Any other destination outside the continental USA or a faster shipping method will have additional shipping costs. Message for details.
When I bought it, I played it side-by-side with a Taylor Leo Kottke 12-string, Taylor 652s, Martins, everything in the store, and there was truly no comparison. The BTO program at Taylor allows dealers and individuals to spec their own guitars, Taylor builds it to their exact specs, and delivers a truly unique instrument. See full specs on the Spec Sheet in photos. The Youtube video was recorded on an iPhone using only the iPhone camera and microphone with no amplification. That's just the natural sound of this guitar.
