Taylor 528 Grand Orchestra | Highlander Stereo Pickup | Plek’d | OHSC | Mint

After moving to NYC, I’m downsizing my (embarrassingly large) guitar collection.This is a 2013 Taylor 528 Grand Orchestra in mint condition, upgraded and professionally maintained.This guitar features a Highlander IP-2 stereo pickup system, with one pickup in the bridge and a second internal mic that captures body resonance and string percussion. It sounds stunning in both live and studio settings.The guitar has been Plek’d at Mike Lull Guitars in Bellevue, WA, giving it incredibly smooth action and even fret response up and down the neck. If you’ve never played a Plek’d instrument, it’s a serious step up in feel and accuracy.I also swapped the original Taylor tuners for locking GraphTech Ratio tuners for better tuning stability. The originals are in the case if you want to reinstall them.Smoke-free. Always stored in a climate-controlled space.Taylor’s own description:“Taylor’s bold-voiced Grand Orchestra projects a strong lower midrange emphasis and pairs well with mahogany’s strong, focused tone. Rootsy strummers and pickers will love the blend of power and articulation. A black pickguard, ivoroid binding and a Century fretboard inlay tastefully convey mahogany’s time-honored heritage.”Specs:Body Shape: Grand OrchestraTop/Back/Sides: Solid Tropical MahoganyScale Length: 25.5”Neck: Tropical MahoganyFretboard: Ebony with Century inlaysBracing: Forward-Shifted with Relief RoutNut Width: 1-3/4”Tuners: Locking GraphTech Ratio (originals included)Electronics: Highlander IP-2 stereo system (bridge + internal mic)Finish: Gloss top and body, satin neckPickguard: BlackBinding: IvoroidCase: Original Taylor deluxe hardshell (brown)This is a powerful, clear-sounding guitar with a nuanced pickup system, premium fretwork and professional upgrades.
