Serial Number: #20020222109
This Liberty Tree Guitar is in fantastic condition! There 's some light checking around and in between the top inlays and the headstock inlays, and some minor finish disruption around the tuner post washers, but other than that there are no cosmetic imperfections to note. The frets show extremely light signs of wear, so they have tons of life in them. It comes with its original hardshell case, too!

Wildwoodians, this Taylor Liberty Tree Guitar is one of the rarest Taylors in the world, and it has a unique history to boot! The story actually starts in the 1700s before the Revolutionary War (how's that for a pedigree?). Back then, it wasn't always safe to congregate and opnely criticize (or in some cases plot against) the King of England, so colonists planted a "Liberty Tree" in each of the 13 states as a safe meeting ground.
The longest-lived of these trees was the one in Annapolis, Maryland, and it stood for four centuries until Hurricane Floyd hit in 1999, when it had to be removed because it was no longer safe. The wood almost went to a dump to be forgotten, but an eagle-eyed landscaper named Mark Mehnert was able to intercept it before it has lost to history. He called Bob Taylor, and Bob immediately began plans to construct guitars out of the 30,000 ponds of tulip poplar he'd just bought.
Those guitars eventually because the Liberty Tree Guitars, which celebrate freedom and the brave revolutionaries who stood up to unjust British rule. Only 400 exist, and this serial is number 43.
Apart from it's historical pedigree, it's an AWESOME sounding guitar! Poplar is a great tonewood--it has the transparency and clarity of maple with the warmth and punchiness of mahogany. It sounds quite sweet and warm, with superb balance and string separation. It's not just a collectible--it's a sonic beast in its own right!
