Description

1996 Taylor 712BRZ Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #961206104.
1996 Taylor 712BRZ Acoustic Guitar in Natural finish, Serial #961206104. This custom-built model features a stunning 3-piece Brazilian rosewood back, matching Brazilian rosewood sides, and a select-grade Engelmann spruce top. The guitar remains in as-new condition, showing essentially no playwear.
Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.

This 712BRZ is a rare, custom-order Taylor built with premium tonewoods during a time when Brazilian rosewood was still available in limited quantities. The 3-piece back adds a distinctive visual element to the already exquisite grain patterns of the Brazilian rosewood, while the Engelmann spruce top offers a light, responsive touch-ideal for fingerstyle and dynamic acoustic playing. As part of Taylor's small-bodied 700 Series, this guitar blends clarity, warmth, and refinement in both tone and craftsmanship. A pristine example of boutique Taylor luthiery from the mid-1990s, this guitar is an exceptional find for collectors and players seeking the rare combination of Brazilian rosewood and Engelmann spruce in an heirloom-quality instrument.
