2022 Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar Adirondack Spruce + Mahogany

Up for sale, a 2022 Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium in mint condition, complete with the hardshell case and hangtags. Dealer sourced and never privately owned, this Custom Shop GA model features V-Class bracing on the Adirondack spruce top, paua purfling and rosette, Paua Early Koa Series fingerboard inlays, Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics, and a gloss Shaded Edgeburst finish.

Taylor's Custom models are unique, player-designed guitars created through Taylor's bespoke program, allowing customization of body shapes, tonewoods, aesthetics, and features, often resulting in one-of-a-kind instruments. Only available through authorized dealers, Taylor's Custom instruments feature premium woods, specific inlays, and special finishes beyond standard production lines.

The Adirondack spruce top has Taylor’s proprietary Scalloped V-Class bracing, designed to accentuate the vibrancy of the spruce. Additional premium tonewoods include mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, yielding plenty of natural midrange warmth. Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape offers excellent projection, featuring the lower bout width (15 ⅞”) and depth of a dreadnought with a more slender waist. Voiced for a variety of genres and playing styles, this V-Class braced model offers the shimmering trebles and sweet percussive cut historically associated with the Taylor brand.

Taylor's Expression System 2 is designed to faithfully reproduce the instrument’s natural tone. This system utilizes three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated sensors installed behind the saddle and through the bridge to capture top and string vibration. Created in partnership with audio pioneer Rupert Neve, Taylor's electronics are seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. This Custom GA weighs 4lbs 9oz, dialed in beyond factory spec here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
