V-Class architecture unlocks the full potential of custom acoustic.
The Taylor Custom Bearclaw Sitka Spruce-East Indian Rosewood Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides an unparalleled playing experience for the discerning guitarist. Handcrafted with premium tonewoods and innovative design, this custom model delivers rich, complex tone with stunning aesthetics.
Hand-Selected Tonewoods Produce Lush Tone
The solid Sitka spruce top features dramatic bearclaw figuring, giving each instrument a unique appearance. Sitka spruce is a preferred top wood for its strength, clarity and projection. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, you'll enjoy warm, resonant bass, sparkling treble overtones and dynamic midrange. This tonewood combination provides tonal depth and dimension ideal for various playing styles.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential
Taylor's V-Class bracing represents an evolution in acoustic guitar design. This bracing architecture boosts volume, sustain and intonation for a playing experience unlike any other.Notes ring clearly across the fingerboard, with more projection and longer decay. Chords are balanced, with no "sour" tones. The guitar feels more responsive, with improved tuning stability. V-Class bracing lets the premium tonewood voice shine through.
Plug in and Play with Taylor ES2 Electronics
The ES2 pickup system faithfully amplifies your guitar's acoustic properties. Featuring three uniquely-positioned pickup sensors, ES2 captures a dynamic range of tone. The preamp's "professional audio"-grade components deliver exceptional amplified sound. Whether on stage, recording or jamming with friends, ES2 makes it easy to plug in and play. Adjust the tone to suit your needs using the intuitive control panel.
Appointments Reflect Superior Craftsmanship
From the bloodwood rosette and ebony fingerboard to the Gotoh 510 tuning machines, premium components complement this guitar's visual and tonal beauty. The striking shaded edgeburst finish with aged toner top gives a vintage vibe. A deluxe hardshell case provides protection for your investment. Overall, the Taylor Custom Bearclaw Sitka Spruce-East Indian Rosewood Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar embodies the pinnacle of premium acoustic guitar design, materials and craft.
