The Taylor Custom Shop Grand Auditorium Hot Rod Charcoal is a showpiece of craftsmanship, tone, and artistry, built for players who demand more from their instruments. Designed to stand out both sonically and visually, this one-of-a-kind Custom Shop model pairs Taylor’s award-winning Grand Auditorium body with a bold Hot Rod Charcoal finish and custom flame inlays. It’s the kind of guitar that commands attention whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or simply adding a crown jewel to your collection.

With a Sitka spruce top over Big Leaf maple back and sides, this guitar produces a clear, balanced tone with shimmering highs, tight bass, and strong projection. Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing adds more volume, sustain, and improved intonation, making it versatile for strumming, fingerstyle, or intricate soloing. A Florentine cutaway allows comfortable access to the upper frets, while the smooth Hard Rock Maple neck and ebony fingerboard ensure effortless playability.

Additional touches like yellow flame inlays outlined with red purfling, black binding, and satin black hardware elevate this guitar into true custom territory. Outfitted with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics, this acoustic delivers warm, natural amplified tone for live and studio performance — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music. Complete with a brown Taylor deluxe hardshell case, this Custom Shop Grand Auditorium is both a visual statement and a musical powerhouse.
