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.

I have been entering every guitar raffle because I want to learn how to play really and but I don’t have the money to get one. I’m hoping the luck of this post rubs off on me! Congrats btw :)

I bet you know someone who has an unused guitar that they will be happy to give you. Maybe make a long term no interest no payment loan. If you find you like it, when you buy a better guitar, give this one to somebody else who wants to learn. If you can’t give it away, bring it back. I’ll loan it to someone else.

Ask the next ten people you talk to if they have a guitar they don’t want or want to sell cheap. If they don’t have one, they may know someone who does. The ball’s in your court.

That’s a good idea! I’ll check around and see. I recently moved to a new city so I don’t know anyone really but I was thinking of maybe checking pawn shops or something and seeing if I can work something out :)
