Guitar was a present, but i had been looking around for an acoustic for a fair while, and wanted something with a small neck and body, unfortunately this beautiful guitar isn't either of those. Fairly standard neck, and body. I was look at the OM/000 sized Martins. I've played it for about 4-5days. So prob about 8-10 hours all up? It's brand spankers, no marks, ding, scratches, nothing. Just been sitting in my room, in it's Taylor hardshell case. Guitar also comes with..

- Guitar lead

- Video CD's (explaning Taylors Expression System, and an interview with some

Taylor dude)

- Various newsletters, leaflets, and Taylor guitar pick.

Australia RRP for this thing seems to be around $3,500 to $3,700. But being a high end guitar, not a lot of places stock them, so they are relatively hard to come by. So my price? Well considering i have played it for a few days, i'll make it a nice even...

$3000

Anyone in Melbourne or near me (Sandringham, Melbourne) is more than welcome to come and have a play, it really is a beautiful guitar, and has a great, big and bright sound. The tone is awesome and being a solid top guitar, these only sound better the more they are played. This guitar is great for recording, but prob better for live stuff dues to it's bigger, brighter sound compared to say a woodier Martin.

Will drop off in person to anyone who wants to buy from Melbourne.

cheers everyone,

P.S. If anyone wants to have try before buying, give us a buzz, 0402 853 813. More than welcome.

PRICE DROP!!!! Now super low of

$2800 - We are NEARLY $1000 off the RRP, just because i've played it for a few days!

as i said before, anyone is welcome to come around and have a play of the guitar. And as an extra bonus, i'll get the guitar re-strung with the same strings as it came from the factory. So that's....

$200 price drop AND a re-string with factory strings for whoever buys it! BARGAIN!!

[SS8_Gohan]

ok, ANOTHER price drop, now...

$2700!!!!! - this is a TOTAL bargain, and i really don't want to go lower as i'm insulting the Taylor It's feeling quite put out.

cheers.

[QWAK]

looks like a bargain mate, i just dont have any money

[SS8_Gohan]

mate, you're welcome to come around and give it a try, and then we might be able to talk the sphincter of the universe?

[SS8_Gohan]

ok, after discussion with the 'Taylor' and me sporting a one bruised eye... we are now down to...

$2600!!! still INCLUDING the free restring, Elixir's, acoustic, medium guage. Top quality strings.

it's getting silly now folks, guitar has to go - and if anyone is interested, this is why it's going...

[SS8_Gohan]

bumpy bump - not exactly Brand New anymore, but it was only played for 1 month in the end, and then i got my John Mayer Martin. So it's mint condition, and ppl are still more than welcome to come and play it.

cheers.

[Veilside R33]

OMG i never knew John Mayer had a signature guitar!?!?! whats did it cost you?

[SS8_Gohan]

yeah since late 2003 i think Martin released them? only 404 made. i got 289 and also...

apparently the only JM Sig which has been personally signed, so i've been told.

Cost me? bout $4.2K all up i think, guitar plus taxes and shit.

Anyways, you're not interested in the Taylor are you?

cheers,

chinny.

[SS8_Gohan]

bump! $2500 and that's it. Still including the free restring. Guitar hasn't been played in looong time now. John Mayer has a signature Fender Strat out now, so i need money to buy that

anyone interested? $2500 really is a stupid price for this guitar...
