When you're looking for a one-of-a-kind acoustic that blends visual artistry with premium tonewoods, this Taylor Custom Shop Grand Auditorium delivers a masterfully built instrument with boutique appointments and custom voicing. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, Custom #12942 features a stunning #1 AA Quilted Maple back and sides paired with a Lutz spruce top, offering rich overtones, clarity, and responsive dynamic range. A Venetian cutaway ensures easy access to upper frets, while V-Class bracing enhances sustain and volume. Elegant upgrades like figured Hawaiian koa binding, a beveled armrest, and an Early 900 Series inlay package give this guitar a refined, heirloom-quality appearance. The onboard Expression System 2 electronics provide faithful, high-fidelity amplified tone. Finished entirely in gloss, this custom build is as bold visually as it is sonically. Includes a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, and a tortoise pickguard (included loose in case for optional installation).
