USED Taylor / K-20ce-L30 30th Anniversary Natural [12]

We have received a shipment of Taylor’s 30th-anniversary commemorative model, which features a generous use of Hawaiian koa wood.
Manufactured in 2004, this is a special model commemorating the 30th anniversary of Taylor, which was founded in 1974.

Hawaiian koa—a wood often used in ukuleles—is lavishly used throughout the entire body.
While Hawaiian koa is known as a rare wood, it is extremely uncommon to find solid koa of this body size. Furthermore, with dense flame grain throughout the center of the top and across the sides and back, this instrument is not only visually stunning but also exceptionally rare.

While it features the bright, lively sound characteristic of koa, the dreadnought shape provides ample volume and a rich, full-bodied mid-to-low range.

Befitting a 30th-anniversary model, special inlays adorn the fingerboard, soundhole rosette, and bridge, emphasizing the uniqueness of this instrument.

Due to a malfunction in the original preamp’s electronics, the preamp and all electronic components have been replaced with current-generation parts.
While there are some minor scratches and dents overall, the instrument shows minimal signs of use and is in good condition.
It has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent.
Although the neck shows some waviness and twisting, there are currently no issues such as buzzing frets or muffled tones.
The preamp was replaced by a domestic distributor, and the instrument has undergone maintenance and cleaning at our repair center; playability is excellent.
