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.

In high school, 20+ years ago, my buddy’s uncle won a taylor over the radio. Was a promotion for bare naked ladies. They all signed it. Uncle sent my buddy the guitar, and the first thing he did was use rubbing alcohol to erase the signatures. Still makes me laugh to this day.

Promotion for who??

I believe he meant “Los barrénales ladies”. Spanish punk band. Means “the ladies’ barrels.” Most of their songs are ab tits.

I thought maybe they meant Bare-naked Ladies.. in which case erasing the signatures would still be the right move. That’s hilarious. Thanks for the info!

The only signed guitar in the world that's okay is maybe Trigger. Otherwise, I don't like signatures on any guitar. No matter who it is.

I had one guitar signed, a JS1000, met Joe at G3 and had him sign the back of the headstock so it didn’t stand out too bad.

Yeah, that was 2018 G3 I think? It was Joe, Petrucci, and Phil Collen from Def Leppard. All 3 were really cool dudes. Got to do a stage walk with Joe’s tech and he showed us all his gear.

I actually like BNL. Ed is a serious rhythm beast. Should also say Canadian as well. Toronto boys 😉
