Every year, Taylor releases several limited edition guitars. These guitars are typically based on many existing models with a few tweaks. These guitars are also not factory cataloged or priced. Most of the time these guitars are only available through special or custom orders and many dealers do not stock them. We are slowly putting together individual model listings together on Taylor Limited Editions, but it is difficult to obtain specifications, quantities, and original MSRs. Anyone with documented information on a Taylor Limited Edition is encouraged to send it to Blue Book Publications. Also, if you are looking for a value on a Taylor Limited Edition guitar that is not listed here, please email or call Blue Book Publications and we'll try to provide you with that information. Taylor's website is also a very good resource for past limited editions.
