Taylor Custom Grand Concert 12-Fret Transparent Black w/case

This custom Grand Concert acoustic-electric serves up an inspiring combination of tonal sophistication, visual artistry and playing comfort. A hand-selected, beautifully figured set of Big Leaf maple back and sides pair with a Sitka spruce top to produce a clear, balanced voice that channels the unique touch of each player, while our V-Class bracing inside dials up more volume and sustain. The 12-fret-to-neck configuration ensures a relaxed playing experience with an intimate, accommodating feel and a dash of extra presence in the midrange. A gloss finish and transparent black color treatment amplify the guitar’s visual appeal, which is further elevated by an elaborate Tropical Vine fretboard inlay composed of mother of pearl and green abalone. Other custom appointments include a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, green abalone rosette, Ocean Vine peghead inlay and ebony bridge pins with abalone dots. This build also features cocobolo body, fretboard and soundhole binding with black and white purfling, as well as ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique chrome. It ships with ES2 electronics and a brown deluxe hardshell case.
