A Rare Taylor Custom Build with Stunning Tonewoods & Elegant Appointments
AAA Brazilian Rosewood hand selected by Bob Taylor.
This exceptional Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium blends visually breathtaking tonewoods with premium performance-focused craftsmanship. Built with premium AAA Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and paired with a beautifully grained sinker cypress top, this guitar delivers a rich, articulate voice with remarkable depth, clarity, and dynamic response.
Designed without a cutaway to preserve the full beauty of the Brazilian Rosewood body, this custom build offers an uninterrupted visual presentation that highlights the natural figuring and dramatic grain patterns of the wood.
Elegant Hawaiian Koa binding and a matching Koa armrest provide both visual warmth and luxurious playing comfort, while the intricate Belle Fleur inlay package adorns the headstock, fretboard, and bridge with unmistakable custom-shop artistry.
Inside, Adirondack Performance X Bracing enhances projection, responsiveness, and tonal balance, making this instrument equally inspiring for fingerstyle players and aggressive strummers alike.
Finished with premium Gotoh tuners featuring black marbled buttons, dark stained bone bridge pins with Australian red Opal dots, and Taylor’s Claria pickup system, this custom Grand Auditorium is an extraordinary collector-grade instrument built for both stage and studio performance.
A deluxe Taylor hardshell case is included.

✅ Tone Profile
The combination of AAA Brazilian Rosewood and sinker cypress creates an exceptionally balanced tonal character with:
- Deep piano-like bass response
- Crisp trebles with excellent articulation
- Strong overtone complexity

- Outstanding projection and sustain
The Adirondack Performance X Bracing adds additional headroom and dynamic range, allowing the guitar to remain clear and responsive even under heavier attack.
✅ Why This Custom Taylor Stands Out
This is not an ordinary custom guitar. From the rare Brazilian Rosewood and sinker cypress pairing to the luxurious Belle Fleur appointments and premium koa detailing, every element of this build was selected to create a visually striking and sonically inspiring instrument.
The non-cutaway design preserves the uninterrupted beauty of the Brazilian Rosewood body, making this guitar especially appealing to collectors and players who appreciate traditional aesthetics paired with modern Taylor craftsmanship.
✅ Taylor Claria Pickup System
The new Taylor Claria pickup system delivers a more natural and transparent amplified acoustic tone with enhanced dynamic range and articulation. Designed to faithfully reproduce the guitar’s organic voice, the Claria system captures every nuance of your playing style, making the 412ce ideal for:
- Live performance
- Studio recording
- Worship settings
- Singer-songwriters
- Fingerstyle guitarists
Players can expect clear, balanced amplification with impressive warmth and detail.
