          Description

          The Taylor Custom Western Red Cedar-East Indian Rosewood Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers a harmonious blend of warm, rich tones and crisp articulation. Handcrafted for the discerning player, its resonant tonewoods and innovative bracing produce a lush, complex voice perfect for any style.

          Premium Tonewoods Generate Depth and Warmth

          The guitar's solid Western red cedar top provides a warm, rounded tone with complex overtones. Its East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth and richness, resulting in a voice with piano-like bass, shimmering highs and blooming mids. These prized tonewoods were hand-selected for musicality, grain and beauty, yielding an instrument with visual and sonic artistry.

          V-Class Bracing Revolutionizes the Acoustic Sound

          Taylor's patented V-Class bracing represents an evolution beyond traditional X-bracing. This "sonic engine" boosts volume, sustain and harmonic complexity while largely eliminating intonation issues inherent in acoustic guitars. The bracing creates clear, balanced notes across the fingerboard for a cohesive playing experience. Chords ripen and decay with fewer dissonant frequencies, allowing the rosewood and cedar's natural warmth and resonance to shine through.

          Plug in for Studio-Quality Amplified Tone

          The ES2 pickup system delivers the nuance and dynamics of the guitar's acoustic voice when plugged in. Featuring three calibrated behind-the-saddle pickups, it captures a wide range of tones for amplified playing. Paired with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the ES2 produces exceptional amplified tone that translates your playing with clarity and responsiveness for recording or performance.

          Premium Appointments Complete the Package

          bindings and purfling are made of koa, rosewood and paua shell, highlighting the visual depth of the tonewoods. The paua rosette and fingerboard inlays add shimmering details. A full-gloss body finish and satin-finish neck provide smooth playability. With a deluxe hardshell case, humidity control and a Certificate of Authenticity, this guitar is an heirloom-quality instrument for the discerning guitarist.
