Crafted for players who crave a rich, enveloping voice with stunning visual refinement, the Taylor Custom Shop C18ce B5020 is a masterfully built Grand Orchestra model from Taylor’s exclusive 2025 NAMM Catch Event collection. Its large body design offers exceptional dynamic range and tonal complexity, enhanced by a torrefied Sitka spruce top for seasoned warmth and a full-spectrum response. Bocote back and sides bring visual intrigue with their exotic grain patterns and contribute deep lows and glassy highs that articulate every nuance of your playing. Featuring a hand-applied Tobacco shaded edgeburst, this guitar is as visually captivating as it is sonically versatile.

Playability meets luxurious detail with a Florentine cutaway for upper-fret access, a flamed maple beveled armrest for ergonomic comfort, and exquisite appointments throughout — including Spring Vine inlays and a Roman Leaf rosette crafted from maple and ebony. Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners with black buttons ensure tuning precision, while Taylor’s renowned ES2 electronics deliver stage-ready tonal fidelity. This heirloom-quality instrument ships with a Western Floral Taylor deluxe hardshell case and is available now at Haggerty’s Music.
