Ban Rescinded!-NGD!
 

In my "Permanent Ban?" thread, I lamented attending a Taylor "Find Your Fit" event and falling in lust with a 562 12 Fret 12 string mahogany guitar that just felt so good & sounded so sweet. I ended up letting my 'superior' self control win out & left with my credit card still cold!

Since then, I've been haunted by seeing the new K62ce 12 Fret LTD 12 string listed in Reverb at a place in CO. Absolutely stunning Koa on this puppy; but at $4600 (twice the 562 I left behind) there was just no way. Then I saw the same model listed as 'used' by a place in NY, maybe 3 hours from me at tops, for $3100. I couldn't imagine that someone had returned one (as they JUST came out) unless it was either damaged or a dud. I decided it was worth a drive (via my sister's place in North Jersey). Turns out that it had been a 'Road Show' guitar that didn't sell & was sent back to Taylor. They sell them at a huge discount with no factory warranty. A new, perfect, guitar for comparatively cheap! :D

Stunning guitar! Play on!

Congratulations, Koa Rocks & You're Going To Enjoy Your Taylor K62ce 12-Fret For A Long Time!

Lovely. Congratulations.

That's Purdy............:D

Beautiful guitar. Good for you!

Wow that is a stunner!

Congrats on finding it....

That's a good discount, but I'd try to bargain the warranty back in before I bought it. Never heard that they sold off Road Show guitars with no warranty (as if used).

Wow....beautiful!

Yeah; apparently there are a number of dealers that get these shipped to them as 'used' (even the factory sticker on the outside of the shipping carton calls it 'used'. If you've ever seen some of the listings on Reverb with seemingly stupid prices on mint looking guitars, the descriptions often say that they're from the factory, sold without warranties. As I've bought 4/5 of my Taylors second hand, I wasn't terribly concerned about it (also, having gone to see & play it first). I guess legally they can not be sold as 'new'... Either way, I'm one happy camper now! :D

I only wish I had a better camera (terrible photo!)

Gorgeous guitar. Congrats!

Beautiful! Enjoy it! I love my K Taylor, you will too!
I'm picking up my special order 562ce on Thursday (hehehe...I'm giddy).
These 12-fret 12-strings are a fingerpicker's dream.
