Rare 1998 USA Baby Taylor - Collector's Piece

For sale is a truly special and increasingly rare 1998 Baby Taylor 301-M, an early, USA-made example of the iconic travel guitar that redefined portable acoustics. This particular model features a solid Tropical American Mahogany top and comes complete with its original Taylor hard case, a rare find that significantly adds to its collector appeal. This Baby Taylor, used domestically for songwriting rather than travel, has been well-loved and shows its age gracefully. The original finish exhibits some natural lacquer lift on the body, a common and expected characteristic for a guitar of this vintage. Crucially, there are no dings or significant impact damage on the body itself, preserving its overall clean lines. The mahogany neck is smooth and comfortable, with only one or two shallow capo indents that are purely cosmetic and do not affect playability or feel whatsoever. All original parts are present, and the guitar plays beautifully with that classic Baby Taylor tone.
