Relax, NIHE is not about to became Craig’s List. But I got an email from singer-songwriter Amy Speace earlier this week and she’s selling a pretty special guitar. Maybe you’re interested; if so here are the details:
Very very gently (like as in barely touched) used 2006 Taylor GS Western Red Cedar/Indian Rosewood with Taylor’s wonderful Expression II pickup system installed. Original hardshell (brown faux alligatorish leather) case and original paperwork included. I love this guitar and bought it just as the GS (Grand Symphony) model was debuted. Its a bigger body than a dreadnought, small waist, gorgeous sounding guitar for you fingerpickers out there. The only markings on the guitar itself are a few small pick scratches underneath the strings. The guitar didn’t come with a pickguard as I didn’t want one to mess up the beauty of the cedar top. I used this guitar on a few songs from “Killer In Me” and I’m selling it because I am just downsizing my collection and this is one guitar I just don’t play as much as my others. I’d love her to go into the hands of someone who will play her more than currently am.
If interested, email me at amy@amyspeace.com and I’ll let you know about the price and can forward you photos. The guitar sells new for about $2400.
All of which reminds me of John Hiatt‘s song from the early 1990s, Perfectly Good Guitar. Here’s a video of it.
