A Custom Creation with Stunning Detail
This isn’t just another guitar; it’s a one-of-a-kind Custom Grand Auditorium from Taylor, built for the discerning player who appreciates both sonic excellence and visual art. From the moment you see the Charcoal Edgeburst top, you know you’re looking at something special. The Lutz Spruce top, a hybrid known for its power and dynamic range, is the perfect engine for this instrument. Paired with the rich, complex overtones of Indian Rosewood, this guitar delivers a sound that is both powerful and articulate, with a bloom and resonance that feels alive in your hands.
Masterful Artistry
Every detail of this guitar speaks to the craftsmanship involved. The iconic “Cindy” inlay, rendered in shimmering Paua and Mother of Pearl, flows gracefully down the West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard and adorns the headstock. The body’s chamfered edges, highlighted with Paua purfling, offer a modern, comfortable feel, while the full-gloss finish on the body and the Kona Edgeburst on the back and sides make the wood’s grain pop. Even the neck features a subtle heel burst, a testament to the meticulous attention to detail.
V-Class Bracing: The Sonic Engine
Under the hood, Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing architecture is at work. This isn’t just about making the guitar louder; it’s about making it better. V-Class bracing increases volume and sustain while also improving intonation, so chords ring true all the way up the neck. Whether you’re a delicate fingerpicker or a heavy strummer, this bracing system allows the Lutz spruce top to vibrate more freely and musically, resulting in a more responsive and expressive instrument.
Ready for the Stage and Studio
When it’s time to plug in, the LR Baggs Element VTC system faithfully translates the guitar’s natural acoustic voice. Known for its robust, open sound and resistance to feedback, the Element VTC provides a simple, effective interface with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, ensuring you sound your best in any live or recording situation. Finished with Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners for exceptional tuning stability, this Taylor Custom is a complete package for the serious musician.
