It is a custom Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar that highlights the extraordinary visual and tonal mix of the Honduran rosewood back and sides and a striped sinker redwood top.
It delivers a well-balanced instrument with deep lows, clear mids and shimmering highs, this is aided by the Taylor "V-Class" bracing for improved volume, sustain and harmony.

The sides, satin-finished mahogany neck, and four-piece back — boasting a Simons Wedge configuration — feature a tobacco-shaded edge-burst stain.

The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard is adorned with a floral-inspired Ocean vine inlay design, also made with cocobolo and boxwood.

This custom build ships with onboard ES2 electronics, TaylorSense and a brown deluxe hardshell case.
