If you're searching for a guitar that combines rare tonewoods with artful detail and professional performance, the Taylor Custom Shop C14ce Grand Auditorium from the 2025 Catch Event is built to elevate your sound and style. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this ultra-limited custom model features a Western Red Cedar top paired with stunning AA-grade Hawaiian koa back and sides, delivering a tonal blend that’s warm, responsive, and full of character. Over time, this combination matures beautifully, offering even greater tonal richness with extended play. Enhanced by Taylor’s proprietary V-Class bracing, players will experience improved sustain, projection, and harmonic alignment across the fretboard. Visually, it’s nothing short of breathtaking—paua top trim, a matching rosette, and Belle Fleur inlays in paua and mother-of-pearl complement the gloss finish and refined ebony binding. The Venetian cutaway, firestripe pickguard, and gold Gotoh tuners with ebony/koa buttons round out this builder’s masterpiece. Complete with Taylor’s ES2 electronics and housed in a deluxe brown hardshell case, this Catch #28 custom is a showpiece built to perform.
