My instinct would be to play one before buying it, and in fact, play
the very one you intend to buy. These added bits of information you
mention don't add that many bits of information, in my opinion. We
know Taylor "designed" the guitar, we know Taylor is great, and we know
luthiers of the period were great. But we know darned little about
this guitar.
Where was it made? Out of what materials? Don't get me wrong... What
do I expect for $700.00 retail? But I really think touching the
instrument would be very important.
My 0.02 euros' worth of opinion... cud
