A beveled ebony armrest ensures a silky-smooth feel for your strumming arm, complementing the slender neck profile for unmatched playability. Custom visual details include a mother-of-pearl and ebony rosette and mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays, both featuring a Nations motif, accented by a mother-of-pearl peghead logo and awabi-dot bridge pins.

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)
Crafted with innovative new ideas to produce an older, vintage-inspired sound, the Gold Label 814e Koa-SB complements its sonic richness and complexity with a stylish sunburst finish. This model features our new Super Auditorium body shape, similar to our Grand Auditorium but with slightly wider contours that, along with a new fanned V-Class bracing variant, help it generate greater power while remaining focused and clear at any volume. Back and sides of beautifully figured Hawaiian koa combine with a specially roasted Sitka spruce top to yield a lush midrange character with remarkable low-end presence along with the boosts to volume and sustain that come with the V-Class architecture. Adding to the package of innovations is a new long-tenon neck joint that improves the transfer of vibration to boost resonance while also improving adjustability. Visually, the Gold Label 814e Koa-SB is dressed to impress with antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, Continental inlays, a new pickguard design, grained ivoroid edge trim and a full-body gloss finish. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for warm, balanced amplified sound and ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a British Cocoa exterior.

The first of our GT acoustic guitars to feature Hawaiian koa, the GT K21e is a treat in both sound and style for players seeking a fun, spontaneous guitar that can go anywhere. The GT is sized between the GS Mini and the Grand Concert body, and with all-solid Hawaiian koa back, sides, and top, this model boasts a vibrant tone with clear highs, a punchy midrange and surprising low-end power thanks to the C-Class bracing inside. The shorter scale makes for an inviting feel and a relaxed fretting experience, and the built-in ES2 electronics mean the GT K21e is ready to plug in and play. Stunning wood-centric appointments such as the Island Vine inlay highlight koa's visual character. This model ships with a lightweight, durable AeroCase.
Guitarists love Hawaiian koa for its blend of warmth, clarity and beautiful aesthetics. The K24ce showcases the tonal richness and visual character of koa in a Grand Auditorium body that's both accommodating and musically versatile. Koa is also known for its aging properties, and players will notice more sweetness and depth as the wood opens up with time and play. With stunning wood-forward appointments that reflect koa's island heritage, the K24ce is a stage-ready option that will keep you musically inspired for years to come.

The Legacy 514ce, initially conceived as part of Taylor's 50th anniversary celebration, pays homage to the Grand Auditorium body shape, a true Bob Taylor original that has redefined how acoustic guitars sound, look and feel since its debut in 1994. This exclusive Legacy collection model boasts a tonewood pairing not found in the Taylor standard line: mahogany back and sides with a top of Western Red cedar. With its punchy midrange and dry, woody character, mahogany is perfectly suited to pair with cedar's warmth and soft-touch sensitivity, which will especially appeal to fingerstyle players and strummers with a lighter stroke. Voiced with the X-bracing that Bob used in the first Grand Auditorium models three decades ago and crafted with Taylor's signature slim, easy-playing neck profile, the Legacy 514ce is sure to inspire both traditionalists and contemporary-minded players alike. Appointments reflect Bob's preferred sleek aesthetic with faux tortoiseshell binding and pickguard, white and black top purfling, Small Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body with a satin finish for the neck. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
Built to honor the innovative spirit that drove Bob Taylor's guitar designs dating back to the early years, the Legacy 714ce celebrates the Grand Auditorium body shape that Bob introduced to the world in 1994. This model boasts a tonewood pairing not currently found in the standard Taylor line: Indian rosewood back and sides with a Western Red cedar top, voiced with the same X-bracing pattern used in the first Grand Auditorium guitars. The result is an exceptionally warm, mellow response with remarkable touch sensitivity that doesn't lose clarity in the treble range. Visually, this model reflects the understated aesthetic Bob preferred for his guitars of three decades ago, with appointments including black binding with black and white pinstripes, dot fretboard inlays in green abalone with a matching three-ring rosette, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body paired with a satin-finished neck. The Legacy 714ce features LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

The Legacy 815e stands alone in the Taylor line as a Jumbo, non-cutaway acoustic-electric that blends elements of Bob Taylor's original designs with subtle upgrades to provide a modern feel. This model is crafted with back and sides of solid Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top in a big, powerful body that yields a commanding voice. Featuring the traditional X-bracing pattern favored by Bob in the early days, the 815e serves up a warm, richly textured sound with clear trebles, throaty lows and a slight scoop in the midrange, all complemented by beautifully blooming overtones. A modern Taylor neck profile offers a hand-friendly feel and relaxed fretting, while older elements like the mustache bridge and a "straight-ear" peghead silhouette capped with a rosewood veneer. Finished off with the sleek appointments Bob furnished for his original builds, this model sports white binding, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, a gloss-finished body and neck, and non-engraved Large Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl. It includes a special Legacy interior lable and an LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup with volume and tone controls mounted inside the soundhole. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Along with its chameleonic tone-shifting powers and cross-genre versatility, our T5z Classic has always borne a minimal, functional aesthetic that reflects its musical utility. Here, we’re kicking up the visuals with a stunning Hawaiian koa top rich with organic variegation and natural hues—a style usually reserved for Custom or Pro T5z models. Musically, the T5z Classic is as bold and pragmatic as you’d expect from our line of hollowbody hybrids, with a comfortable neck that feels easy in the fretting hand whether you’re playing cowboy chords or flying lead licks. The five-way switching system allows you to shape your tone around three pickups—an acoustic body sensor and two humbuckers—so that you can bend between warm acoustic sounds and searing electric sizzle on a dime. Details for this model include a handsome shaded edgeburst top treatment, a satin finish and two F-holes on an unbound body, showcasing Hawaiian koa’s natural beauty. Small Diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic and satin black tuners round out the visuals. This model ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
