This is a 2021 Koa Taylor 224dlx. I am the first owner and the instrument has been played regularly since I got it in the summer of 2021. This guitar has a few dings and scratches here and there on the body and a ding on the neck near the body facing the player. The headstock also shows visible signs of character marking and the frets have noticeable wear but still have a few hundred hours of playing left in them. Besides that the guitar is in perfect condition. Taylor guitars are made to be used live. The reliability of their proprietary pickup systems is superb and I speak from personal experience. This guitar comes with the ES2 pickup system which when plugged in sounds great and is not prone to feedback like other brands. The system is powered by a standard 9 volt.I have insured that this instrument received proper humidity exposure (40-60% humidity) year round, taken great care to regularly cleanse the exterior, and lemon oiled the ebony fretboard when needed.
