The Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians with an instrument of unparalleled tone and aesthetics. Handcrafted from premium torrefied Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood, this guitar delivers a dynamic range of lush, complex tones with crystalline highs, robust lows and rich overtones. The revolutionary V-Class bracing opens up the soundboard to produce notes that ring loud and true. When plugged in, the ES2 electronics capture the guitar's voice with stunning fidelity for inspiring performances.

Resonant Tonewoods for a Lifetime

As an investment in your musical journey, the guitar's torrefied Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides provide decades of playing enjoyment. The torrefied spruce, sourced from the Pacific Northwest, yields a mature, balanced tone from day one. The rosewood, selected from sustainable sources in India, produces notes with depth, warmth and complex overtones. Together, these tonewoods create an open, resonant voice that only improves with age.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks Potential

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing opens up the soundboard to produce notes that ring loud and true. This innovative design provides more volume, longer sustain and nearly eliminates the intonation issues that plague traditional X-bracing. Play up and down the neck to experience notes and chords that bloom into richness. Strum boldly without choking the guitar's voice. Flatpick or fingerpick dynamically with confidence in each note's clarity and projection.

Plug in and Inspire

When it's time to perform, the ES2 electronics capture your Taylor's voice with stunning fidelity. Three discreet saddle transducers feed a Taylors preamp to convey nuances that other systems miss. Adjust the preamp to shape your tone from transparent to bold. Send your signal direct to the PA or amp for inspiring performances that move audiences with the guitar's true, resonant voice.

An Heirloom to Cherish

With premium tonewoods, innovative bracing and quality electronics, the Taylor Grand Auditorium is an investment in inspiration that provides a lifetime of musical enjoyment. As you play, the woods will mature and the tone will sweeten, creating an instrument to pass down through generations. For the serious musician seeking an heirloom guitar, the Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium delivers a voice to cherish.
