This Taylor AD17E Blacktop is in VERY GOOD overall condition. Cosmetically, it is in very good shape but does show wear/blemishes in places. This is a used instrument, so it will have finish scratching and playwear. Any significant marks will be mentioned in the description. All used models receive a full factory setup and hand-inspection before shipping.

What are “Factory Used” guitars?

These are guitars that we purchase directly from Taylor that are offered to us once or twice a year. They were either used for sales training, promotional use or were sale samples. Since Taylor does not have time to hand inspect each guitar for marks, scratches, blemishes, etc., they offer them to us as “Factory Used”. It should also be mentioned that Taylor Guitars Warranty does not apply to “Factory Used” guitars.

One of the lowest-priced all-solid-wood guitars produced in Taylor's California facility, the AD17e Blacktop from the American Dream Series offers players a more accessible entry point to the tonal complexity and sophistication that come with solid-wood construction. Walnut back and sides pair with a spruce top to produce a warm, shimmering midrange with a splash of treble clarity, and you'll hear clear low-end power thanks to the dreadnought-style body and V-Class bracing inside. This model is dressed in a striking blacktop color treatment for the soundboard, and it ships with Taylor's ES2 acoustic pickup and a lightweight, yet sturdy AeroCase.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has impressions on the body top, a chip on the headstock, and a chip on the back low E string bottom bout edge of body.(See pics)
