Taylor T5z Classic Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)

This is the second T5 I have owned. I sold the first one in 2009 due to financial needs and always regretted it. I was able to get this T5 at $700 off of the regular discount price because it is a Scratch and Dent deal. I had some anxiety over what the condition would be because they are mostly returns from previous buyers but when I got it and inspected it I found it to be flawless. If there is any wear and tear or blemish I have been unable to find it. The only thing I don't care for are the tuning machines. They seem especially sensitive to me and tend to go from not seeming to be effecting the tun to. all of a sudden, going to far. And they could have a bit more resistance in my opinion. They are just too easy to turn. I don't remember my first T5 having that touchy of tuners so it just may be this guitar.Otherwise this guitar is just like I remember my first one to be like and is the best of it's kind out there. Tone is superb, neck is great, fit and finish is normal Taylor top quality.

Musical Style:

Rock, blues, some country.
