Offered for sale:
Used and rare 1992 Taylor 410-RW (rosewood back & side) Dreadnought acoustic guitar serial number 4-1546.
This guitar is in good to very good condition, neck angle and frets are fine. Cosmetically showing playing wear with some dings and marks on the top and numerous rash and scratches on the back. The photos of the blemishes look worse than in person, especially on the top.
Taylor states:
“Indian rosewood stars on this robust-voiced Dreadnought workhorse. Players with a driving attack will enjoy exploring rosewood’s sweeping tonal range, from low-end growl to ringing treble notes. One distinction of these Dreads is a slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width, which might appeal to traditional players or others who find a 1-3/4-inch neck a bit wide for their playing preferences.”
“As a guitar soundboard, or top, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes. Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking. Sitka spruce is Bob Taylor’s personal favorite for an all-around great guitar.”
Original hard-shell case included.
“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship. If you decide to purchase this guitar, please let us know what gauge strings you prefer.”

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
