The Koa is not junk wood. It's top choice Koa all around. That alone is at least 2500 in wood. Craftsmanship, nice details and lots of inlay. Too much for my personal taste on that, but very costly. Nice electronics and the Taylor name... Yeah, I guess it's worth it, but it's way out of my budget.

I'm sure that one plays fantastic...My first zero in focus point was the range an instrument has, that's just me.
I'm really just guessing as to what your after, collection or player. As an all-around utility guitar, that one has limits.
THx mate
I would have thought that Koa would sound nice..I cant see him putting his name or Taylor on a bucket..but I could be wrong

Matt my thoughts are you should buy it and ship it back to your spiritual home in Adelaide so you have something to play when/if you ever visit. No need to hurry back, I'll take care of it for you.Here is another Koa..

I am wondering why these guitars were placed on eBay. With true collectable guitars, the best place to sell them is at the large guitar shows around the country. While these are very nice guitars, they may not increase in value, or at least not increase in value enough to justify your investment. Just a thought.
