You are viewing a special custom Taylor Guitars. This guitar is built on the chassis of the Grand Auditorium body shape and is the preferred body shape for many players. Its medium size allows it to fit almost every customer and is known to have the projection of a dreadnought body shape. It is strung up with light gauges strings that allow players to fingerpick the guitar or play lead and have the ability to bend the notes a whole step or more. Its applications are endless which makes it a favorite at the shop. Traditional tonewoods were paired together on this custom and Taylor Guitars put a spin on the Sitka Spruce top. The torrefaction process was used on the spruce top to give it an aged and tone-enhancing boost. The results provide a faster response and increase in volume and projection. The torrefied Sitka top is matched with hand-picked AA Grade East Indian Rosewood which has fantastic acoustic qualities that make it the tonewood of choice for many acoustic guitar players. It has great low-end response and great treble timbre, it is known for its projection and volume and also has notable overtones. The higher grade rosewood picks out true quarter-sawn wood cut for increased strength and straight grain, but also unique colors of reds with a purplish hue. The guitar comes equipped with the Expression System 2 and includes TaylorSense as an added bonus.
This guitar was purchased at a dealer-only event. This has been coined as the Taylor Custom Catch Guitar Event. Every year Taylor Guitars showcases a selection of Custom guitars that feature options you cannot get from their standard custom shop options. This provides a truly custom experience. These options include unique tonewoods, inlays, bridge pins, rosette designs, and custom tuning buttons.
