I bought this guitar at a local music shop.Price paid around $700.Previously owned but in "new" condition(a trade in).Solid sitka spruce top and solid Ovangkol back and sides(Ovangkol, for those that don't know is very similar to rosewood, but a bit brighter in sound)Indian Rosewood headstock is striking!Ebony fretboard and bridge.Mahogany neck is slim and very easy to play.That's one of the things I love so much about Taylor and Alvarez guitars,especially if you have small hands like me! The hard Taylor case that came with it is beautiful also,kind of an alligator skinned look,but the soft material scratches easily,so watch out! Also,for some reason my "g" string always is the first to break,I haven't figured that one out yet though...I dropped a Fishman humbucker in the soundhole,which actually makes the guitar sound even brighter which is good or bad depending on what music or style i'm playing.Overall,it's a wonderful guitar in my collection that I love to play...Can't buy these new anymore,but you can still find them online,price unknown.
