Overview

A one-of-a-kind Hawaiian koa Taylor guitar with exquisite looks and tone.

The Taylor Custom All Hawaiian Koa Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar embodies elegance and tone. Crafted from stunning, resonant AA-grade koa, this custom Grand Auditorium produces crisp highs, rich mids and deep lows that blossom over time. Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's sonic performance, boosting volume and sustain while resolving intonation issues. The result is purer, more resonant notes across the fingerboard.

Premium Koa Construction

The back, sides and top are constructed from premium Hawaiian koa, renowned for visual beauty and vibrant tone. Selected for acoustic excellence, this koa yields a balanced sound with shimmering highs, a throaty midrange and lows that emerge as the guitar matures. The koa's striking grain is complemented by gilded tuners, a mother-of-pearl peghead logo and dark-stained bone bridge pins with red opal dots.

Premium Appointments for Playability

Taylor custom guitars are made to exacting standards using only the finest materials. The mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard and 15" radius for a familiar, electric-like feel. The ebony bridge pins and tuners are durable yet lightweight, while the ES2 electronics system captures the full range of the guitar's acoustic voice. Overall, every design element of this Taylor Custom Koa Grand Auditorium focuses on playability, allowing you to express your creativity without limitation.

Innovative V-Class Bracing

At the heart of this Taylor guitar's impressive tone is the patented V-Class bracing. This advanced bracing system boosts volume, enhances sustain and improves intonation for a purer, more resonant sound. Notes ring out with bell-like clarity from the bass to the treble registers. Chords sound open and balanced, without the dissonance found in traditionally braced guitars. The innovative bracing also makes this custom Taylor guitar highly responsive, allowing you to articulate each note with nuance and control.

Plug in and Shape Your Tone

Taylor's revolutionary ES2 pickup system captures the guitar's acoustic properties for natural amplified tone. Three uniquely positioned sensors and a studio-grade preamp convey nuance and dynamics. On stage or recording, you can shape your tone with the ES2's volume and tone controls. This hybrid system provides unmatched plugged-in sound for performance.

A Guitar for the Ages

From conception to final assembly, this koa Grand Auditorium is a Taylor original. Resonant woods, innovative bracing and plugged-in tone come together in a guitar made for prolific songwriting, nuanced playing and memorable performance. The Taylor Custom All Hawaiian Koa Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is an investment in craftsmanship that will inspire for years to come.
