Combined with Taylor’s remarkable playability and ergonomic Builder’s Edition appointments, this is an instrument equally at home in the recording studio, on stage, or in your living room.

✅ Exclusive Tonewood Spotlight

* Honduran Rosewood

Considered one of the world’s premier tonewoods, Honduran Rosewood offers a tonal character that many players describe as even more refined than traditional Indian Rosewood.

Its voice is exceptionally rich and harmonically complex, producing deep lows, lush mids, and shimmering highs while maintaining remarkable clarity across the entire frequency spectrum.

The result is an instrument with incredible sustain, impressive note definition, and an almost orchestral sense of depth.

For discerning players seeking something truly special, Honduran Rosewood represents one of today’s finest premium tonewoods.

* Adirondack Spruce

Adirondack Spruce has long been regarded as one of the most desirable soundboard woods ever used on high-end acoustic guitars.

Known for its enormous headroom and explosive dynamic range, Adirondack allows players to dig in aggressively without compression while remaining beautifully responsive to the lightest touch.

Its crisp articulation, outstanding projection, and long-term tonal development make it an ideal partner for the richness of Honduran Rosewood.

Together, these two exceptional tonewoods create a voice that is powerful, expressive, and endlessly inspiring.

✅ Next Generation Innovations

Taylor’s latest Builder’s Edition platform introduces several significant advancements that further enhance performance, tone, and long-term serviceability.

* Action Control Neck

Taylor’s redesigned neck system allows precise neck angle adjustments without removing the neck, making future setup refinements faster and more accurate while helping maintain optimal playability for years to come.

* Scalloped V-Class Bracing

Taylor’s revolutionary Scalloped V-Class Bracing increases volume, sustain, projection, and pitch accuracy while allowing the top to move more efficiently for greater tonal complexity.

* Claria™ Acoustic Electronics

Taylor’s new Claria™ acoustic pickup system delivers an exceptionally natural amplified voice with outstanding warmth, clarity, and dynamic response. Designed to faithfully reproduce the guitar’s acoustic character, Claria captures the subtle nuances of your playing whether you’re performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing at home. With intuitive soundhole-mounted controls, it offers pristine plug-and-play performance while preserving the expressive tone of this exceptional Builder’s Edition.
