Here's a prime example of how much Custom Taylor you can get at a great price if you choose the options carefully. This 2017 Custom GC has beautiful dark East Indian rosewood, a tight-grained Western Red Cedar top, and faux tortoiseshell binding on the body and neck. Thanks to Taylor's CV top bracing with relief rout around the perimeter, the result is a remarkably warm tone with good balance and plenty of volume, but in a Grand Concert size you can tuck under your arm rather than a big guitar you have to climb over to get to the strings (and the shorter 24 7/8" scale makes this very playable). This example has Taylor's 1 3/4" wide neck. This guitar is in excellent structural and cosmetic condition with just the slightest amount of fret wear. It does have a Taylor hardshell case, but it's older than the guitar but at least a decade and is a little scruffy.
