The V-Class bracing further refines volume, sustain, and intonation, making this instrument an excellent choice for stage, studio, and home play.

A Florentine cutaway allows effortless upper-fret access, while the Hard Rock Maple neck with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Custom details such as yellow flame inlays with red purfling, black binding, and Taylor satin black tuners complete the striking visual design.

Outfitted with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, this guitar ensures natural, high-fidelity amplified sound, making it performance-ready. It comes housed in a brown Taylor deluxe hardshell case for maximum protection.
