Masterful Appointments and Innovations Merge in a Custom Grand Auditorium
The Taylor Custom Sinker Redwood-Red Ironbark Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers you balanced, articulate tone and premium aesthetics. Designed for serious musicians seeking an inspiring instrument, this limited-edition guitar pairs a sinker redwood top with figured ironbark back and sides for exceptional depth and sensitivity.
Sinker Redwood Top Provides Rich, Powerful Voice
The guitar's sinker redwood top gives it a bold, complex voice. Redwood is a tonewood prized for its resonance and projection, yielding notes with shimmering highs, a robust midrange and tightly focused low end. When crafted into an acoustic top, redwood creates an instrument with chimey treble, punchy mids and a throaty bass response.
Ironbark Back and Sides Enhance Warmth and Definition
The figured ironbark used for the back and sides complements the redwood top beautifully. Ironbark adds warmth and crisp note definition, preventing the redwood's power from becoming muddy. Together, these premium tonewoods achieve a balance of richness, clarity and sensitivity that inspires nuanced playing.
V-Class Bracing Optimizes the Guitar's Voice
Taylor's patented V-Class bracing helps the Custom Sinker Redwood-Red Ironbark GA achieve its full potential. V-Class bracing improves volume, sustain and intonation over traditional X-bracing. Notes ring clearly and purely, with minimal interference. The guitar is highly responsive, with accurate pitch that electronic tuners can quickly locate. Chords bloom and decay evenly and harmonics resonate uniformly up and down the neck.
Onboard Electronics Provide Natural Amplified Tone
The guitar's ES2 pickup system captures its acoustic properties faithfully when amplified. Featuring three behind-the-saddle pickup sensors, the ES2 conveys the Custom Sinker Redwood-Red Ironbark GA's complex voice through any acoustic amplifier or PA. On stage or in the studio, you can achieve natural, balanced amplified tone that represents this guitar's premium design and materials.
Premium Appointments Complete the Package
This limited-edition guitar includes elegant cosmetic touches like an abalone rosette, purfling and edge trim. It also features a brown deluxe hardshell case for protection. With its impressive tonewoods, innovative bracing and onboard electronics, the Taylor Custom Sinker Redwood-Red Ironbark Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is an inspiring tool for serious musicians.
