A great guitar doesn’t just make music; it carries a story in every note. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this 2016 Taylor Custom Shop Dreadnought represents a thoughtful blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics and modern Taylor craftsmanship. Built with premium tonewoods and custom-selected appointments, it captures the bold voice and timeless character that have made rosewood dreadnoughts a cornerstone of acoustic music for generations. From its striking Vintage Sunburst finish to its elegant grained ivoroid trim, every detail reflects the attention and artistry of Taylor’s Custom Shop.

At the heart of this instrument is a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Grade A Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination renowned for delivering powerful projection, rich overtones, and exceptional dynamic range. The dreadnought body shape provides the headroom and authority flatpickers crave, while still offering enough sensitivity for fingerstyle work. Taylor’s Sitka CV bracing with Relief Rout enhances responsiveness and sustain, allowing the guitar to produce a mature, open voice with remarkable balance across the tonal spectrum. Whether driving a bluegrass ensemble or accompanying a solo vocalist, this guitar delivers the commanding sound expected from a premium rosewood dreadnought.

The neck offers a unique playing experience with its comfortable V-Carve profile, satin finish, and slightly shorter 24.875" scale length, creating a relaxed feel without sacrificing clarity or projection. The ebony fingerboard and bridge contribute crisp articulation and long-lasting durability, while the understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays and vintage-inspired appointments maintain an elegant, refined aesthetic. Every element works together to create an instrument that feels broken-in and inspiring from the first chord.

This Taylor Custom Shop Dreadnought is in used condition and includes its original hardshell case. For players seeking the warmth, depth, and authority of a premium rosewood dreadnought combined with Taylor’s renowned playability and craftsmanship, this exceptional Custom Shop instrument offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive acoustic guitar.
