Once a year, Taylor Guitars features a special event for all authorized Taylor Guitar dealers at the NAMM Show (National Association of Music Merchants) in Anaheim, Ca. where they show off some very unique and special guitars made specifically for show attendees. These guitars are normally limited to anywhere from 5-50 total units, and are all "made to order". Moore Guitars always searches out the "diamond-in-the-rough" examples; and at only $4,999 this unique custom is priced less than many standard models! This is a very exciting guitar that will help you build your own "Legacy" Guitar Collection! Treat yourself to one of only 28 in the world with this gorgeous example.
This particular model is one of these very special guitars as it is one of only 28 that were made in 2024! Finished with a visually striking Lilac Wine color treatment for the back, sides and neck, this custom cutaway Grand Auditorium delivers an enchanting appearance that mirrors its melodic beauty. This model boasts a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with gorgeously figured Big Leaf maple back and sides, yielding a warm, played-in sound from the first strum along with maple's highly player-reflective character. Inside, Taylor Guitars Patented V-Class bracing adds volume and sustain that compliment the torrefied top's extra sweetness and depth. Maple also comprises the neck, heel, heel cap, backstrap, Fishbones rosette, soundhole binding, and fretboard and peghead purfling. The top and rosette are embellished with sleek black and white purfling, with black purfling for the back and sides. Select shell appointments include a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, gray bone bridge pins with awabhi dots, and agoya peghead and fretboard inlays with a design from legacy limited-edition Grand Auditorium models. This build is finished off with a full-body gloss and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuners in antique chrome. It features onboard ES2 electronics and TaylorSense monitoring unit. It ships to you in a Taylor brown deluxe hardshell case.
