Manufacturer: Taurus, Barcelona, Spain Year of manufacture: 1972 Top: Solid spruce Solid Indian rosewood back and sides Neck: Cedro Nut width: 52 mm Scale length: 650 mm Condition: used, very good The Taurus brand originated in a Spanish workshop in Barcelona that built guitars from the 1960s through the early 1980s. The business was run by Arturo Grau. The instruments were particularly popular as studio guitars due to their high-quality craftsmanship. Another fascinating aspect is Taurus’s connection to the legendary guitar maker José Ramírez: Due to high demand, Ramírez commissioned Taurus at the time to manufacture its “Studio Line.” This serves as yet another seal of approval for the quality of the instruments produced at this workshop. Many Taurus guitars are therefore very similar to—or nearly identical in construction to—some Ramirez Studio Line guitars. The instrument offered here is a beautiful 1972 model with a spruce top and an Indian rosewood back and sides. The guitar has been played extensively over the decades, has developed a wonderful tone, and sounds very open and powerful. There are, of course, signs of wear and scratches, but overall, the guitar is in really great condition. The guitar is also in excellent technical condition, with a very comfortable string action, well-preserved frets, and a perfect neck angle. There are no cracks, and no major repairs have been made to the guitar. Only a small spot on the top—clearly visible in the photos—was professionally filled and refinished at one time. If you’re looking for a great, exotic Spanish vintage guitar, you might find what you’re looking for here.
