As a Taylor Custom dealer, Chicago Music Exchange will work with you to help you choose from an assortment of Taylor’s finest tonewoods—including non-standard species and premium grades—as well as a rich palette of feature options and premium appointments that’ll help you bring your distinctive Taylor dream guitar to life!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHand-Picked Tonewoods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo give CME customers a truly next level Taylor acoustic, CME’s CEO Andrew Yonke and Director of New Product Dan Bordonaro went to the factory, themselves, and hand-selected the top on this Taylor Custom model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrand Auditorium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing Cocobolo back and sides, paired with a Lutz Spruce top that’s received an “aged toner” treatment, accented by figured Hawaiian koa binding, Taylor’s medium-sized Grand Auditorium body shape offers balanced highs and supportive lows, making it a versatile choice that’s fit for nearly any playing style. Boasting bold, balanced tone, the Taylor Grand Auditorium provides vibrant, well-defined sound across the entire tonal spectrum, thanks to a more tapered waist than a traditional dreadnought, making the Taylor Grand Auditorium the Swiss Army Knife of Taylor’s body shapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 ELECTRONICS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial#\u003c\/b\u003e: 1209082162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e: 5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Auditorium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCutaway: \u003c\/b\u003eVenetian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e Beveled Armrest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap:\u003c\/b\u003e Backstrap, Match Binding - Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack \/ Sides: \u003c\/b\u003eHawaiian Koa, Master\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop: \u003c\/b\u003eHawaiian Koa, Master\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard \/ Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck: \u003c\/b\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Veneer: \u003c\/b\u003eCocobolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eSitka V-Class Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard Carve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard Peghead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side\/Top Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Cocobolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette:\u003c\/b\u003e Abalone, Single Ring with Bound Soundhole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo Inlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlays: \u003c\/b\u003eCindy, AB\/MOP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Cindy, AB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlays: \u003c\/b\u003eCindy, AB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners:\u003c\/b\u003e Gotoh 510 Antique Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut\/Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBone Nut \/ Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony with Ab Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics: \u003c\/b\u003eExpression System 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eBrown Hardshell","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39943065993351,"sku":"TAYCUSTOM-12177-1209082162","price":13811.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-om-and-auditorium-taylor-custom-grand-auditorium-master-grade-koa-natural-stain-w-cocobolo-binding-cindy-inlay-taycustom-12177-1209082162-30517759082631.jpg?v=1689025968","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-ca\/products\/taylor-custom-grand-auditorium-master-grade-koa-natural-1536653","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
