This beautiful custom Taylor Jumbo was custom designed by Bob Taylor and The Guitar Sanctuary.
All of the woods used in its construction were hand selected by Bob Taylor himself during a visit to the Taylor Guitars factory by our own Brian Meader to design a series of very custom guitars. Brian and Bob picked out special woods for each, and Brian posed the question to Bob for each: "What would YOU build with this?". The result are the first ever series of guitars to bear Bob's personal signature on the back of each guitar with the custom "B Taylor" inlay.
This is a one-of-a-kind Jumbo is a commanding acoustic guitar crafted for the player who seeks a bold, rich voice and a truly distinctive presence. It perfectly balances powerful projection with elegant, hand-selected visual details.
Tonewoods & Body:
- The guitar features Taylor's classic Jumbo body shape with no cutaway cutaway, designed to provide a deep, resonant tonal characteristic.
- The top is crafted from Adirondack Spruce, a premium tonewood known for its exceptional projection and clarity.
- The back and sides are made from Walnut, selected for its unique tonal character that blends the warmth of rosewood with the clarity of mahogany.
- The neck is crafted from Mahogany, providing a stable and balanced feel, while the fretboard is made of Ebony.
Aesthetics & Custom Details:
- The body and fretboard binding are made from Bloodwood, which provides a striking visual contrast.
- The body features a gloss finish, with Shaded edgeburst top and natural back.
- The Bloodwood single ring Rosette is paired with a bound soundhole, a classic and tasteful design element.
- The fretboard inlay is done in Hawaiian Koa / Boxwood with their Running Horses pattern.
