Rare Taylor NS52ce (2003) – Jason Mraz Spec – USA Made – Incredible Fishman Sound
Up for sale is a rare Taylor NS52ce, built January 23, 2003, Made in USA — the exact nylon-string model famously played by Jason Mraz.
This is a discontinued, hard-to-find Taylor nylon, produced only for a short time and now highly sought after by players who know what these guitars can do.
Tone & Feel
This is, by far, the best-sounding and best-playing nylon-string Taylor I have ever played.
Extremely responsive, beautifully balanced, with a clear yet warm modern nylon tone. Effortless playability, fast neck feel, and excellent intonation — a true professional-level instrument.
Electronics
Amplified, this guitar sounds absolutely incredible thanks to the highly sought-after Fishman pickup system. Natural, detailed, and expressive — one of the best amplified nylon sounds you’ll find for stage or studio.
Condition (Honest & Transparent)
- A few small dings and dents
- Light play wear, consistent with careful use
- Nothing structural, purely cosmetic
- Tuners were most likely replaced at some point
- Fully functional and plays beautifully
Why This Guitar Is Special
- Exact NS52ce model played by Jason Mraz
- USA-made Taylor nylon from the golden era
- Short production run — very rare today
- Outstanding unplugged and amplified tone
- A serious player’s guitar, not a reissue
Case
Includes the original brown Taylor hardshell case.
