Andy Taylor Custom Semi Hollow Custom 2023 - Natural

Another offering from one of our favourite Sydney guitar makers. This Andy Taylor Custom is a semi hollow flat top which tips the hat to a the Gibson, Gretsch and Fender designs to come out of the late 1950s and early 60s. These style cues, with Andy’s signature flair and attention to detail make this both an eye catching instrument and a killer guitar in its own right.

The body shape, which has a bit of a Gibson ES335 style, also has a bit of a Tele thinline flair to it. This is due to the flat top semi hollow construction with string through body routing. The strings rest on a Gibson “Nashville” style adjustable bridge which is subtly routed into the body for a more streamlined feel. The pickups are both TV Jones Filtertrons - the kind that Brian Setzer has in practically all of his signature Gretsch guitars. Having considerably higher fidelity than most Gibson Humbuckers, these TV Jones Filtertrons are punchy, clear with that great Gretsch sparkle which makes excellent for country, rock, and blues.

This instrument features an array of exotic materials. The body is Black Limba, with a highly figured solid Casuarina top. The Casuarina cap is inset from the edge with gold trim and off white double binding at the edges. The neck is figured maple with 3 mahogany laminations, which aside from looking great, give this neck tremendous stability. The figured maple neck is nicely matched with a figured maple fretboard medium jumbo frets and off white binding.

The neck has a medium to slightly thick C profile with a nut width of 43.6mm. Like many PRS instruments, this has a scale length of 25”.

Support great Australian craftsmanship! This is a truly unique, meticulously crafted instrument that will always grab attention where ever it goes.
