Introducing the Taylor Custom #12443: Grand Auditorium, an exceptional one-off custom guitar that embodies the legendary craft skills Taylor guitars are renowned for. This unique instrument is meticulously crafted with precision and attention to detail, making it a standout choice for discerning musicians.
The body of this custom guitar features solid Hawaiian Koa for back and sides, blending midrange focus with extra top-end brightness and chime. The top is made of solid Striped Western Red Cedar, a great choice for fingerpickers for its natural compression. The guitar is bound with figured Hawaiian Koa and boasts Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing for enhanced volume and sustain. The Aged Toner Top Gloss finish with Edgeburst Gloss back and sides adds a matured touch to the overall aesthetic.
The neck is constructed from Mahogany with a Standard Carve profile, providing a comfortable playing experience. The 25.5" scale length, Ebony fretboard, and Mother-of-Pearl 800 Series inlays contribute to the guitar's exceptional playability and visual appeal - as well as the stunning Abalone rosette. The hardware includes Gotoh 510 Antique Chrome tuners, an Ebony bridge with matching pins, a Micarta saddle, and a TUSQ nut.
For those seeking versatility in amplification, the Taylor Expression System 2 is a game-changer. This innovative system captures a wider range of the guitar's dynamic characteristics, thanks to its behind-the-saddle pickup with three strategically positioned sensors. Paired with Taylor's custom-designed "professional audio"-grade preamp, the ES2 delivers exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness for live performances, recording, or use with acoustic amplifiers. Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups, the ES2's unique design allows for a more natural response to the guitar's energy, resulting in a fuller and more authentic sound.
In summary, the Taylor Custom #12443: Grand Auditorium is a masterpiece that combines premium materials, expert craft skills, and cutting-edge electronics. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a recording artist, this one-of-a-kind custom guitar is designed to meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
