Location: GA USA | Guys, my son wants to sell all his bass gear and buy a good acoustic guitar. He'd prefer acoustic only, and is really liking the thought of a sunburst J-45. But any nice Gibson or Martin would be considered. His gear is on Craigslist now. I'm just throwing it out there to see who wants to sell what.
I know there were a couple listed in recent weeks.

I have a Taylor DDSM (Doyle Dykes Signature Model) that is a really sweet playing and sounding guitar. You have probably seen my posts that it is the only Taylor I have ever played that I really liked (hence buying it). Major year end reduction of herd is the only reason it is going on the block. |

Location: GA USA | We had two J-45's listed in the last couple of months, $1300 or less. He is seeing them online for $1700 and thinks that is a good deal. I think $1700 is near his top. I'll mention the Taylor to him, but I think he's about as likely to want a Taylor as I am.
Thanks Stephen. |

Stephen, I'm not seriously slamming that guitar. I'm sure it's great. |
