- Comments: To say John McQuarry
is among the best builders on the planet would be an under statement.
He is truly in a league of his own. The lines are perfect, the detail
is mind-boggling, and the sound and feel of these guitars is pure magic. This one features a very special
set of Madagascar Rosewood. The colors of this wood are a feast for
the eyes. The sound is deep and thick with an amazing clear, rich Bass.
While this wood is often compared to Brazilian, it has a bit more clarity
to my ear, and at a fraction of the price. This guitar resonates with
such a magnitude of sound I find myself holding on tight so it doesn't
vibrate off my lap. This is one of the most alive guitars I have ever
played.
- Condition: Ex- Several indentations on top but none through the finish...just honest play wear. A pickup was installed and removed and a Taylor strap pin is currently installed. It is ready to drop in the pickup of your choice.
