Excellent+ near mint 2022 Custom GA, never registered. Premium selected tone-woods in a beautiful small body grand auditorium from Taylor's Custom Shop. The Adirondack spruce top offers up sky-high headroom for flat picking while also making it highly responsive to a lighter touch for finger-style. A quick view from the backyard reveals some fantastic figuring in the Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides creating a perfect praise and worship guitar for church or an ideal couch guitar for winding down in the evenings. The tonal character found in premium Blackwood is similar to that of broken-in Koa, making it warmer and more balanced, resulting in the perfect guitar for either flat picking or finger-style. These custom pieces typically sell for $6,600 retail after taxes and are definitely one of a handful of top-tier offerings from Taylor's Custom Shop.

Taylor's Custom Shop GA pairing Figured Tasmanian Blackwood with a premium Adirondack Spruce top is a highly coveted combination. The setup most sought after and commonly commissioned by Andy or Bob as their choice "Catch Custom". A select build typically chosen for Taylor's major industry events like the Winter NAMM shows.
