We handpicked 5 guitars from Taylor's Custom Shop—each built with rare tonewoods and unique specifications. Each one is produced in very limited quantities. Expected arrival May–August 2026. Reserve yours now before we list them publicly.
Grand Auditorium · Cutaway · Electronics
The sound: Bright, bell-like highs with warm, deep lows. Koa and rosewood is one of the most sought-after tonewood pairings in acoustic guitar—and this one has V-Class bracing for even more sustain and volume. Why this one: Figured koa top, rosewood back and sides, beveled armrest, Gotoh 510 tuners. This is the kind of guitar people build collections around.
Congrats, Kurt C!
This guitar found its forever home.
Grand Auditorium · Builder's Edition · Cutaway
The sound: Lutz spruce has more headroom than Sitka—hit it hard and it opens up instead of compressing. This is the guitar that gets louder and richer the harder you play. Why this one: Builder's Edition means hand-carved comfort carves you can feel the moment you pick it up. Paua shell inlays, charcoal edgeburst, and the kind of playability that makes you not want to put it down.
Grand Auditorium · Cutaway · Koi Blue Finish
The sound: Maple is brighter and more articulate than rosewood—every note pops with clarity. Perfect for recording or cutting through a band mix where you need to be heard. Why this one: Koi Blue over figured maple is jaw-dropping in person. This is the flagship of the collection—the most ornate build, the rarest color treatment, and a sound that matches the look. There's a reason it's the highest-priced guitar here.
Grand Auditorium · Cutaway · Electronics
The sound: Sinker redwood delivers cedar's warmth but with more punch and projection. Walnut adds a woody, focused midrange that's ideal for fingerpickers and singer-songwriters. Why this one: Sinker redwood is recovered wood that sat underwater for decades before being harvested—it's rarer than any spruce you'll find. Hawaiian koa binding, figured mahogany neck, and the most approachable price in this collection.
Grand Auditorium · Cutaway · Electronics
The sound: Port Orford cedar is as responsive as redwood but with more harmonic complexity. Bocote—a striking Mexican hardwood—adds sparkle and definition you won't hear from typical back/side woods. Why this one: This is the most unexpected guitar in the collection. The tonewood pairing is genuinely rare, the Sea Forest vine inlays are stunning, and the voice is unlike anything else Taylor makes. For players who want something no one else has.
