Notes from the Moore Staff
So - what the heck is"Tigerwood"?
Well - the "official name is "Goncalo Alves", commonly known as Tigerwood. It's an incredibly distinctive lumber species, and the tigerwood name comes from characteristic stripes of color. It tends to be harder and heavier than Koa or Mahogany, nearly like east Indian rosewood, but with a different grain structure.
Moore Guitars in Evansville, Indiana is proud to present to you this guitar - we only were able to get one, so time IS of the essence as these were a "one run, special edition". As for this particular guitar, Taylor made a very short run of these guitars so there are very few available in the U.S.. These guitars are a layered back and sides of "Tigerwood", and have a solid torrefied spruce top. Normally starting in the Deluxe series, this special edition guitar comes complete with a Taylor Brown hard-shell case as an added bonus! On a spectrum of sounds, it’ll lean more toward a rosewood like tone due to it’s density, but with less mid scooping-it’ll be a little more balanced in the midrange like koa due to the grain structure.

- In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes.
