Taylor Custom "The Catch" #18 NAMM 2025 Grand Auditorium Lutz Spruce/Maple Desert Dawn ES2

Blending a bold visual aesthetic, a graceful inlay motif and premium tonewoods, this custom guitar is exceptional in both sound and style. A hand-applied Desert Dawn color treatment lends the guitar a vibrant appearance, emphasizing the beautiful figuring of the Big Leaf maple back and sides and the tight grain of the Lutz spruce top. Paired together in a gloss-finished cutaway Grand Auditorium body, players can expect an articulate voice that’s highly reflective of individual playing styles, with our V-Class bracing inside providing a boost to volume and sustain while improving pitch accuracy all the way up the neck. An ivoroid pickguard is accentuated by an ivoroid/faux-tortoiseshell rosette, ivoroid binding and purfling, and bone bridge pins, while Engraved Victorian inlays add touches of subtle elegance. Outfitted with ES2 electronics and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuning machines, this beautiful custom model ships in a brown deluxe hardshell case.
