Show-Stopping Craftsmanship - The Taylor Custom #30 C16ce Grand Symphony Acoustic Electric Guitar
Built for the 2023 NAMM Show Exhibition, this show-stopping custom Grand Symphony acoustic-electric displays the extraordinary skillset and attention to fine detail Taylor brings to the art of their craft. The back and sides are made of master-grade Hawaiian koa in a four-piece configuration with a Simons wedge, a Lutz spruce top, V-Class interior bracing, a soundport cutaway, and include proprietary ES2 electronics with a built-in TaylorSense unit.
Custom appointments for this model also feature a single-ring rosette in figured Hawaiian koa, figured Hawaiian koa body binding, West African Crelicam ebony fretboard binding, and stained bone bridge pins with red Australian opal dots. Further details of note are the gold tuners with ebony buttons and koa inlays, the Running Horses fretboard inlays in Hard Rock maple and Hawaiian koa, a custom bridge inlay of boxwood and Hawaiian koa, and a full-body gloss finish.
