Description: Liberty Tree T5 Guitar - Nevada. Nevada Liberty Tree T5 Guitar Video will open in a new window Using the eBay App? Paste link into a browser window: https://youtu.be/NCFb1MGSwMI This guitar was purchased by me in 2008 and was handled only a few times. It was never set up because I wanted to keep it in original condition. The guitar was played less than an hour total and only to verify tone, electronics and tune. The Liberty Tree T5 is Taylor's historical series flagship acoustic-electric guitar crowned with the beautiful tulip poplar of what was the Annapolis Liberty Tree, the last survivor in a group of majestic trees once chosen to designate clandestine meeting sites for Colonists plotting the American Revolution. This living symbol of freedom and independence grew on the St. John's college grounds in Annapolis, Maryland, until severe damage from Hurricane Floyd in 1999 caused experts to declare it a safety hazard for students and ordered it felled. Taylor purchased approximately 80,000 pounds of the historically significant wood, and in 2002 released a limited edition run of 400 Liberty Tree Grand Concert acoustic guitars as a playable tribute to those who struggled for freedom during the birth of our nation.In addition to the limited run of Baby Liberty Travel Guitars, Taylor had enough wood to release this extremely limited final run in the Liberty Tree series, fifty Liberty Tree T5 acoustic-electric guitars, each being individually identified by the name of a state and accompanying numeral designating the order in which the state entered the Union. The guitar also comes with a special Taylor custom guitar case.The Liberty Tree T5 guitar features a hand-inlaid revolutionary-period battle banner on the guitar's shoulder and a post-revolution American flag on the peghead. Eleven mother-of-pearl stars on the fretboard, and two more stars on the banner represent the thirteen original colonies. Binding on the body, neck and headstock is figured maple, accented by red, white, and blue purfling. The same purfling outlines a backstrap of Liberty Tree wood. The body's back cover panel is satin-finish maple with a laser-cut inlaid Liberty Tree shape crafted in the tree's wood and with the word "Liberty" etched in lasered script just beneath it. All hardware, including the vintage Gotoh tuners, sports an antique gold finish.The T5 electronics, designed to facilitate moving between authentic acoustic and electric guitar tones, provide a beautiful array of sounds fitting to accompany such a visual masterpiece.
