Nothing matches the breathtaking look and sound of Brazilian rosewood. Commonly referred to as the “holy grail” of tonewoods, we generally save this brilliantly featured tonal treasure for our Presentation Series. The coloring of Brazilian rosewood can range from soft shades of tan, to dark chocolate brown, often times with subtle streaks of gold or violet. Deep bass, crisp highs, and powerful projection prove this Acoustic/Electric has more than just great looks.

Brazilian rosewood
Brazilian rosewood is the most highly sought-after wood for guitar bodies because of its density, its beauty, and its rich, crisp resonance. There are many sub-species of Brazilian rosewood and the color can range from tan, through shades of brown and chocolate and green, to orange and violet, often with irregular black streaks.
Grand Auditorium (GA)
The GA is Taylor’s most versatile and popular shape, excelling at light-touch fingerstyle to full-blown strumming. Great for mic’ing and recording, the GA’s balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice.
Expression System®
Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System® amplifies your guitar with an unrivaled, natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It’s your tone. Amplified.
Gloss Top, Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
