CATCH EVENT CUSTOM

At this year's NAMM show in Anaheim, Taylor put on an unforgettable dealer event showing a set of extremely limited and special guitars, known as the Catch Event.  There, in a room at the rooftop, dozens of one-of-a-kind Taylor guitars were displayed.  We had the opportunity to participate and were fortunate to score some very special guitars - this is one of them.

Truetone is proud to present this Taylor Custom Grand Concert 12 Fret.  An amazing example of what the expert luthiers at Taylor can do, this guitar features Tasmanian Blackwood for the top, back & sides.  The color is Blackwood Stain, and it has a great feeling satin finish.  It's further enhanced by the Hawaiian Koa binding, and bound sound hole with a very unique rosette.  Perfectly matching are the special fretboard inlays, custom made for this guitar.  It's one of the more unique looks we've seen from Taylor, and immediately became one of the most eye-catching guitars we have here.  Be sure to zoom in on the photos to see the exquisiteness and intricacy of this carefully handcrafted work.

Tasmanian Blackwood’s sound is close to that of koa or mahogany in its midrange focus and warmth, with the addition of top-end shimmer and richness typically found in rosewood.  That's why it's become a favorite of players recently - it's a very versatile sound, suitable for a variety of body sizes and musical styles.  Plus, it looks amazing!    The guitar is very expressive, and reacts perfectly to the player's touch.  Whether you're strumming hard, or softly finger-picking, this Grand Concert will suit it well.

The Neo-tropical Mahogany neck has Taylor's Standard Carve neck profile, and is topped with a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, with Hawaiian Koa binding.  Another nice touch that we have to point is what Taylor did for the bridge pins - they are Stained Bone, which match the guitar perfectly.   Again, be sure to look closely at the photos, to see the very unique inlays and rosette.   

Obviously this is a special guitar, and we are excited to have it.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it today, or order right here for it to be expertly packed and safely shipped to your home.
