The Taylor Custom All Claro Walnut Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides a lush, resonant tone thanks to its rare, beautifully-figured Claro walnut construction. As a serious guitarist looking to upgrade to a premium, handcrafted instrument, this custom Grand Auditorium was designed with your musical journey in mind.

Premium Tonewoods Produce a Rich, Complex Sound

The Claro walnut back, sides and top of this guitar provide a balanced warmth, present midrange and crisp high end that develops beautifully over time. With similar density and stiffness to koa, the Claro walnut construction gives this Grand Auditorium impressive volume and projection. The natural gloss finish allows the wood's luxurious figuring to shine through while protecting its resonant qualities.

Innovative Bracing Improves Playability and Tuning

Taylor's patented V-Class bracing provides an orderly response that makes this guitar easier to tune and play in tune. The bracing improves volume, sustain and harmonic richness up and down the neck. Notes bloom and decay gracefully, chords sound open and agreeable and the guitar has a musical quality that inspires your creativity.

Premium Appointments and Electronics Enhance the Experience

An array of luxurious appointments includes a single-ring rosette with an abalone frame, cocobolo binding and fingerboard inlays, a cocobolo/abalone bridge inlay and Gotoh 510 tuners with cocobolo buttons. Taylor's ES2 pickup system accurately captures the guitar's acoustic properties for exceptional amplified tone when performing live or recording in the studio.

Limited Edition and Handcrafted in the USA

As one of only 12 of these custom Grand Auditoriums available worldwide, this guitar provides an exclusive playing experience. Each guitar is handcrafted to exacting standards by Taylor's most experienced luthiers in El Cajon, California using carefully selected tonewoods and premium components.
