This distinctive, one-of-a-kind Custom Taylor 12-Fret Grand Auditorium was designed by members of our staff, and crafted to offer a warm, rich tone and exceptional playability. It is a perfect fusion of premium tonewoods and custom design elements.
Tonewoods & Body:
- It features Taylor's distinctive Grand Auditorium body with a Venetian cutaway, designed to provide a comfortable playing experience and a balanced sound.
- The back and sides are made from figured Blackwood, known for its resonant qualities, complemented by a 3-piece mini wedge design and a top made of Sinker Redwood.
- The neck is crafted from Mahogany, with a custom peghead veneer.
- The fretboard and bridge are made from handpicked, special Ebony, with a black underlay.
Aesthetics & Visual Details:
- The binding is made of figured Maple, creating a refined contrast against the body.
- The rosette features a single ring of Abalone with a bound soundhole, adding a subtle touch of elegance.
- The inlays on both the fretboard and peghead are "Solitaires," featuring Grained Ivoroid and Quilted Sapele.
- The guitar has a custom "Brown Sugar" stain on the back, sides, and neck, while the top has a natural finish.
- The guitar is equipped with Gotoh 510 tuners in an Antique Gold finish with black plastic buttons.
Performance & Playability:
- Designed as a 12-fret model, this guitar offers a shorter scale length of 24-7/8" and a 1-3/4" nut width, which can enhance playability and a warm, mellow tone.
- The neck has a standard carve profile and is finished in satin, as are the back, sides, top, and peghead, ensuring a smooth feel for the player.
