Taylor Custom Builder’s Edition Next Gen Grand Auditorium – Metallic Turquoise Gloss Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Taylor Custom Builder’s Edition Grand Auditorium – Deep Metallic Turquoise

A Very Rare Custom Taylor Unlike Anything Else

This very rare Taylor Custom Builder’s Edition Grand Auditorium is one of the most visually striking Taylor guitars we have ever had at Tobias Music.

Finished in a breathtaking Deep Metallic Turquoise Gloss, the entire body has remarkable depth and dimension, while the neck features a complementary Metallic Turquoise Satin finish. It is an exceptionally difficult guitar to photograph—the finish simply looks even better in person.

This Next Generation Builder’s Edition combines its extraordinary custom appearance with the classic tonal combination of a Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides, along with Taylor’s latest innovations.

The custom details are equally impressive, including an intricate Sea Forest Vine fretboard inlay crafted from Blue Paua shell and Hawaiian Koa, along with a beautiful Belle Fleur headstock inlay.

Very rare. Exceptionally beautiful. Only one available.

✅ The Tobias Music Perspective

After more than 35 years of working with Taylor Guitars, we have seen some truly remarkable custom instruments. This one immediately stands apart.

The Deep Metallic Turquoise finish is spectacular in person. Photographs capture the color, but they have a difficult time showing the depth and dimensional quality of the metallic finish. Depending on the lighting, this guitar takes on a remarkably rich and dramatic appearance.

What we especially like is that Taylor carried the custom turquoise theme onto the neck with a satin finish. Combined with the Sea Forest Vine inlay and Belle Fleur headstock, the entire guitar feels like a carefully coordinated custom work of art.

And beneath the extraordinary appearance is a serious acoustic instrument. The Rosewood/Spruce combination, versatile Grand Auditorium body, Builder’s Edition refinement, and Taylor’s latest Next Generation technology make this much more than a beautiful guitar.

✅ Tone Profile

Rich • Clear • Powerful • Dynamic

The classic combination of a Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides offers an exceptional balance of power, clarity, and harmonic richness.

Spruce provides clarity, responsiveness, projection, and dynamic range, while Rosewood contributes rich overtones, deep bass, sustain, and tonal complexity.

Combined with Taylor’s versatile Grand Auditorium body shape, this guitar is equally comfortable for fingerstyle playing, strumming, flatpicking, recording, and live performance.

✅ Next Generation Innovations

Action Control Neck

Taylor’s innovative Action Control Neck provides a refined approach to neck-angle and string-height adjustment, continuing Taylor’s long-standing commitment to exceptional playability and serviceability.

Scalloped V-Class Bracing

Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class Bracing enhances sustain, projection, clarity, and note definition while maintaining excellent responsiveness across a wide range of playing styles.

Claria™ Electronics

Taylor’s Claria™ Pickup System combines a reimagined under-saddle pickup with a proprietary preamp to deliver a natural and musical amplified sound. Soundhole-mounted controls, including the Mid-Contour adjustment, provide additional tonal flexibility.

✅ Builder’s Edition Features

The Builder’s Edition represents some of Taylor’s most refined instruments, combining premium materials, innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and player-focused details.

This custom guitar takes the concept even further with its extraordinary finish and exclusive appointments.

From the Deep Metallic Turquoise Gloss body and matching satin neck to the detailed Sea Forest Vine and Belle Fleur inlays, this is a remarkably distinctive Taylor Custom.
