Custom #34

This particular model is a custom Grand Auditorium that features the beloved tonewood pairing of hand-selected Indian rosewood with a Lutz spruce top, producing a versatile sound rich with harmonic texture and blooming overtones.   Crafted without a rosette or pickguard to keep the focus on the inlay artistry, this build also sports an ebony peghead veneer with a paua logo, dark-stained bone bridge pins and a vintage-vibed honey sunburst top color treatment to complement its full-body gloss finish. Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold and ES2 electronics with TaylorSense round out the package. It ships with a brown deluxe hardshell case.

What is Lutz Spruce? 

Per Taylor Guitars, here is a great explanation: Lutz Spruce is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka and White spruce, Lutz grows in climate zones between where Sitka and White spruce are found. (Sitka grows in more coastal areas, while White spruce thrives in interior regions.) Lutz is considered very adaptive within those microclimates, which can yield properties that are superior to either species alone. In terms of acoustic response, Lutz blends the positive characteristics of Sitka and White spruce and its close cousin, Engelmann spruce. The Lutz that Taylor uses tends to exhibit characteristics of Adirondack spruce. The result is powerful sonic horsepower that translates into strong volume, projection and tonal richness. This top choice goes well with most playing styles. Players with a lively attack will enjoy the tonal output and headroom.

Appointments - Is that a Koa tree on the fretboard?

Yes!! Highlight meticulous, detail-oriented craftsmanship with a backstrap in figured Hawaiian koa, matching koa body and soundhole binding; a Nouveau bridge inlay in paua and an intricate "Tree fretboard inlay" with a koa trunk and paua leaves.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder Pat Moore instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today.

That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes.

We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
