is Taylor for around 6 years since new, great guitar. Loved traveling with it as it was so light.It was crushed somewhat on a flight a year ago, the top lightly suffered a small inch and half long crack, I glued this and sanded the entire top back, I then oiled and waxed the top to protect the wood. Plays beautifully, stays in tune, great sounds from the mass of pickups in the body, low action, and best of all again, incredibly light, and now a unique sound!A few issues that I know of, other than the repaired top; there is a small ding on the rear edge near the pickup switch, the pots have some dust in them, likely from the top sanding job, the electronics could do with some TLC and contact cleaner, there is a small crack in the paint lacquer at the back of the neck at the head joint, the neck wood is all sound and intact, only the thick lacquer has cracked. Please check these out in the closeups in the last 4 pictures. The good. The waxed Koa top looks great, the wood has almost come alive like a loudspeaker cone,
