Description & Specs

Note: Due to differences in wood grain, the item you receive may not exactly match the item in the photos.

From Taylor:

This fingerstyle dream blends the warm and responsive voice of mahogany topped with cedar, the physical comfort of our compact Grand Concert body, and the slinky handfeel of the 12-fret 24-7/8-inch scale length neck to offer players an effortlessly expressive 6-string. The location of the bridge near the center of the lower bout elicits extra warmth, power and sweetness, especially with Taylor’s Performance bracing under the hood. Visually, the slotted headstock, grained ivoroid Century inlays, and faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard outfit the guitar with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal, while modern features include an elegant Venetian cutaway and proprietary Taylor Expression System® 2 electronics.

We're right off the CTA Brown Line 'Paulina' Stop Just North of Belmont and just West of Ashland.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! If you have any questions, we’re here for you!
