The latest koa entry in the Builder’s Edition family is this Grand Auditorium K24ce, build with all-solid Hawaiian koa with V-Class bracing under the hood. Sonically, it bears the hallmarks of koa’s unique tone, with high-end clarity balanced against the volume and sustain improvements delivered by the new bracing scheme. Koa’s inimitable aging properties also make this guitar a special find, opening and adding depth and sweetness as the guitar is played over time. Designed to optimize the player’s experience with a handful of ergonomic features, this model includes a double-contoured cutaway for easy playing all the way down to the highest frets, along with a smooth armrest that takes the pressure off the player’s strumming arm. The Silent Satin finish treatment adds a subtle visual touch while removing much of the incidental noise that comes from the player’s arm movement, making this an ideal choice for session or studio players looking to lay down tracks. It ships with ES2 electronics in a deluxe hardshell case.
Crafted from a stunningly figured set of Tasmanian blackwood, this Grand Pacific brings a contemporary visual and musical touch to our vintage-flavored round-shoulder dreadnought. Topped with an Adirondack spruce top and voiced with V-Class bracing, this model generates a punchy midrange with a sprightly top-end focus and warm lows, rich with sustain and projection. A traditional V-carve neck profile offers a different feel than Taylor players might expect, perfect for those who tend to wrap their thumb around the fretboard when playing. Appointments favor a subdued, yet elegant visual character, from the faux tortoiseshell body binding, rosette and pickguard to subtle ebony fretboard binding, Mini Diamond fretboard inlays in grained ivoroid and Gotoh 510 tuners in antique chrome for precise tuning. It’s all wrapped up in a full-body gloss finish with a medium brown stain for the back, sides and neck. This custom model features ES2 electronics and ships in a deluxe hardshell case with a Western Floral design. (limited to 25 pieces worldwide)

Whatever your musical direction, this GS Mini has a role to play.
Inspired by Taylor Swift's memories of writing songs on her Baby Taylor, the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor (TSBTe) is a three-quarter-size acoustic guitar that's especially suited to young players and aspiring tunesmiths. This model's solid spruce top serves up a balanced, clear sound, and the slender neck and fretboard offer an accommodating feel for new budding players. With the built-in ES-B acoustic pickup and digital tuner, you're all set to plug in and play through an amplifier. The custom rosette was created in collaboration with Taylor Swift herself, and features her signature along with a delicate floral design custom-printed on the top. The TSBTe comes with a gig bag for transport.
The Yamaha APX600 thinline cutaway acoustic-electric combines incredible comfort, easy, top-fret access and an incredible sound ready for all stages in your life. It features a distinct oval soundhole for thicker lower-mid response and a more attention-getting low end, with a sweet abalone rosette to perfectly complement it. Constructed from a combination of spruce top and nato body with a gloss finish and a locally sourced tropical tonewood for the neck with rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
This upgraded APX600 features a unique undersaddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer. The same as the one featured in their highly-acclaimed A Series range, it captures your guitar's natural tone with the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave.

Part of Yamaha's L Series, the LL16DR features intricate abalone inlay work around the body, head and soundhole. Being reminiscent of L36 series, LL16D offers both luxurious look and excellent tone. A newly designed bracing pattern and A.R.E. treatment create rich warmth and open resonance while maintaining excellent tone balance. In addition, a new comfortable neck profile and Yamaha's Zero impact pickup ensure you a stress-free performance on stage.
A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) A.R.E. is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years.
New Designed Bracing Pattern A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L series' characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone.
High Comfortable Traditional Neck Profile A reevaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper led to a new neck shape that better fits today's traditional players. The new design offers stable grip and smooth playability over the full length of the neck.
5-Ply Necks The 5-ply neck of mahogany and rosewood designed with a volute at the headstock plus a double action adjustable rod creates a neck with excellent strength and stability.
SRT Zero Impact Pickups The SRT Zero Impact Pickup system is a newly developed passive type pickup configuration designed to minimize the pickup's impact on the tone and traditional appearance of the instrument. The system utilizes individual piezoelectric elements for each string to faithfully reproduce the dynamic sound of the L Series and give the instrument outstanding presence when playing in a band.
