Description

This 1954 D-18 is a timeless guitar with perfect dry, punchy tone. It's benefitted from a great neck reset and some in-shop work to the bridge for a perfectly playing instrument. It has finish wear from years of play and an old top overspray, but remains in great condition structurally. Its tone has powerful attack and super clear sustain. It would benefit from a refret, but overall it's an excellent vintage guitar with a lot of life left!

Includes Taylor hard shell case.
