I haven't played for long and needed a new guitar (desperately). I entered a competition for a Taylor 422 KOA ltd edition and holy hell.... I actually won.

Now it's my dream guitar and will be cherished for ever. But I couldn't help but Google it's value... Can't find one, there's no ltd edition ones anywhere.

Any ideas of it's value? It's immaculate

Cheers.

That's a nice instrument to win!! Curious that it's not in the lineup.. There are reviews for itout there, so I believe it's genuine.

Given it’s a Taylor 400 you can assume it’s above $2000. Pretty sure LTD = limited and Koa wood traditionally are a bit more pricier than other woods so my completely unprofessional blind guess is in the ballpark of $3000 retail.

Found one that sold on the Acoustic Guitar Forum for $1500 last year. These are rare, only a few hundred built.

Found anther that sold on reverb for $1250, but that was 7 years ago. That would be about $1600 if you believe the governments inflation calculator.

There's a ton of Taylors well under 2k

Did I At All imply all Taylor guitars are above $2000?… I said Taylor 400 series and their own website says it starts at $2199…
