Taylor 517e Builder's Edition Acoustic Guitar - Wild Honey Burst

Taylor

$ 2,999.00 $ 3,918.00

The Grand Pacific is a new Taylor shape introduced in 2019 to deliver a new Taylor sound. Built on the innovative V-Class bracing platform, the Grand Pacific is a fully realized example of how body shapes and tonewoods can be sculpted to create distinct and highly desirable tonal palettes. The Builder's Edition 517e Grand Pacific acoustic-electric guitar further showcases Taylor's pursuits to create the most player-friendly guitars in both sound and feel: a compound carve neck profile, rolled fretboard edges, chamfered body edges, and new Curve Wing bridge shape. The Grand Pacific is a unique entry to the dreadnought category, possessing clear low-end power, tonal consistency and sweeping versatility. The Grand Pacific 517e acoustic-electric guitar ships in a luxurious hardshell case with Western floral pattern, made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.

Tonewood Pairing
V-Class bracing helps create an even clearer delineation between the tonal character of each wood. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. The Sitka spruce top on this Grand Pacific features a special seasoning process called "torrefaction", a method of roasting the wood to produce an aged tonal character with greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness. Mahogany, as a general rule, imparts a sound that can be described as "dry" and lives near the other end of the spectrum from rosewood. The “dry” attribute is characterized as clear, woody, and fundamental-strong. The note you play is the note you get - a wonderful thing for many players and musical applications.

Electronics
Taylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.

V-Class Bracing
Taylor's V-Class bracing is a fundamental innovation in acoustic guitar design. It marks an important evolution beyond traditional X-bracing, introducing an entirely new platform for acoustic performance. It is essentially a "sonic engine" that optimizes the response of an acoustic guitar in three key ways: by boosting volume, sustain, and by largely resolving the intonation (in-tune-ness) issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars. V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound "off". They have clearer, more consistent response, and the whole fretboard is brought into greater sonic alignment for a more musical playing/listening experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are easier to tune; the pitch sounds purer and more solid, and electronic tuners can more easily locate notes for quick, precise tuning. Other benefits: harmonics ring more uniformly down the neck, notes are louder with more projection and sustain, and notes are more consistent, i.e., upper register notes don't get choked out or swallowed. Fewer "sour" sonic qualities exist with chords; a more agreeable relationship is created between notes as they ripen, bloom and decay.

What sets Taylor Guitars apart? Unmatched build quality, the most stable and playable necks, a vast array of tonal options, eco-conscious and ethically-sourced raw materials, and a lifetime of service and support.

Taylor 614ce Acoustic Guitar - V-Class

Taylor

Sold Out $ 4,578.00

Taylor's revoiced maple guitars have sparked a revival among players thanks to Andy Powers' thoughtful update back in 2015. Going one giant step farther in 2018 with Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing, these refinements deliver much more than the sum of their parts. For everyone from pros to hobbyists, they make the playing experience more expressive, inspiring and fun. From the enhanced volume, sustain and the "in-tune-ness" of the instrument, to the beautifully preserved sonic transparency of maple, the new 614ce Deluxe V-Class guitar delivers a new level of player experience. A torrified spruce top coaxes out a played-in sound with pleasing warmth, complexity and sustain. Gorgeous aesthetic strokes include a hand-rubbed Brown Sugar stain which visually amplifies maple's rich fiddleback figure in a nod to the stains used on traditional violin-family instruments. Taylor also appreciates that maple is a sustainably-managed North American timber, with additional efforts in place to propagate in for future generations of guitar lovers. The 614ce V-Class guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case for optimal fit and protection.

Body Shape
A Taylor original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the Taylor acoustic sound. The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the GA is an excellent choice.

Tonewood Pairing
A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. 600 Series guitars feature a special seasoning process for the spruce top called torrefaction, a method of roasting the wood to produce an aged tonal character with greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness. Traditionally known for having a focused tone with a fast note decay that cuts through a mix, our maple (back and sides) guitars have been voiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness, while retaining maple’s naturally clear, linear qualities. The clarity of the high end is still there, but the bottom end has been extended. The result is a more multi-dimensional sound that gives players the kind of musical versatility of other classic tonewoods, making our maple models a compelling choice as a primary guitar, not just a stage guitar. Our maple guitars are voiced to be very reflective of the player’s technique, so a player with a dynamic playing style or someone who likes to vary their picking attack will appreciate how easily those playing nuances come through in the tonal response.

Taylor AD17e American Dream Grand Pacific Acoustic Guitar- Natural

Taylor

$ 1,599.00 $ 2,078.00

Born from adversity and built for value. The American Dream series by Taylor was designed for premium performance and utility. Named after the shop that birthed Taylor Guitars in 1974, these guitars go back to the basics, to a time when Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug had a dream to purse their passion of building quality acoustic guitars that would inspire musicians to play and create music. At the heart and soul of Taylor Guitars is a desire to build the finest acoustic guitars that redefine sound, body shapes and playability, and the American Dream Series embodies these principles of innovation.

Facing an unprecedented global crisis, Taylor turned to what they know best, designing and building guitars. Andy Powers and Bob Taylor pushed themselves to create a new series of US-made, solid-wood guitars that are distilled into the essential elements of premium musical performance, and deliver these instruments at an affordable price. The AD17e features Taylor's innovative Grand Pacific body shape, V-Class bracing, all solid-wood construction, chamfered body edges, eucalyptus fingerboard/bridge/peghead, a super-thin matte finish, single-ring wood rosette, and ES2 Electronics. The AD17e ships in Taylor's AeroCase for maximum protection and portability.

Body Shape
The Grand Pacific brings a new flavor of sound to the Taylor line: warm and seasoned, with broad, round overlapping notes that blend into each other to create a unified harmony. It’s a departure from the focused, precise, clear and vibrant sound of Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape, which helped define what players have come to recognize as “the Taylor Sound.” An important attribute of the Grand Pacific shape is the elimination of problematic low-end woofiness and muddiness (perceived as a "puff of air") often associated with dreadnought-style guitars. This has been accomplished while retaining the usable, musical, warm power of bass response. Because of this the Grand Pacific is especially microphone-friendly and suits flat-pickers, strummers and fingerstyle players alike.

Tone Wood Pairing
Pairing spruce with the ovangkol gives you a tone that is crisp and articulate, yet balanced and responsive to a wide variety of playing styles. Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions, which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Tonally, Ovangkol is famous for its punchy midrange and shimmery articulate top end. Its pleasing depth and responsive bass range produce a broad balanced tone with a lot of punch.

Taylor Fall 2019 814ce-LTD Acoustic Guitar - Blackheart Sassafras

Taylor

$ 3,999.00 $ 5,098.00

Blackheart sassafras back and sides produce a unique tone with high-quality Taylor designs.

This limited edition Grand Auditorium features back and sides of solid blackheart sassafras, a solid Sitka spruce top, and V-Class bracing. Standard specs include a 25-1/2" scale length, a 1-3/4" nut width, and a Venetian cutaway. This model is appointed with West African ebony binding and pickguard, a single-ring abalone rosette bound with ebony, Element fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, smoked nickel tuners, a black graphite nut, and a 4.5 mm gloss finish. It ships with ES2 electronics in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.

According to Andy Powers, "This 814ce LTD is a versatile option for guitarists who like to dabble across different genres and playing styles. The presence of V-Class bracing intensifies the sonic character of the spruce/sassafras pairing. In this case, beyond the expected increase in volume and sustain, the bracing makes this guitar more expressive and player-reflective than ever."

Body Shape
A Taylor original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the Taylor acoustic sound. The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. For players seeking a great all-purpose guitar, the GA is an excellent choice.

Tone Wood Pairing
In terms of both internal structure and sound, sassafras is radically different from Indian rosewood or any other tonewood typically used for guitars. Sourced from Tasmania, sassafras varies wildly in color and quality, and individual trees can be as distinct as humans. In fact, sassafras can be so diverse that even within a single tree, neighboring sets of the wood can look very different.

"A timber's color and figure typically relate to the way the tree grew and are connected to markers like the tree's growth rings," Andy Powers explains. "With this blackheart sassafras, the coloring occurs independently of the way the tree grows. As a result, the color pattern is completely unique to each guitar set, because the hues can vary so greatly throughout a single board."

The "blackheart" label refers to the dark coloration that runs through the blonde-hued heartwood, a result of fungi that propagate inside the tree after branches break off during storms, which allows water to drip down through the tree as it grows.

Musically, sassafras has a tone profile that's hard to pin down because it varies from player to player. In general, it blends the midrange warmth of mahogany, the top-end sparkle of rosewood, and the clarity of maple. Also like maple, it tends to respond to the unique nuances of a player's attack. In other words, a guitarist playing softly will coax a dramatically different tone out of one of these 814ce LTD models than a player who really digs in to produce high volume.

V-Class Bracing
Taylor's V-Class bracing is a fundamental innovation in acoustic guitar design. It marks an important evolution beyond traditional X-bracing, introducing an entirely new platform for acoustic performance. It is essentially a "sonic engine" that optimizes the response of an acoustic guitar in three key ways: by boosting volume, sustain, and by largely resolving the intonation (in-tune-ness) issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars.

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Acoustic Guitar - Natural

Taylor

$ 799.00 $ 1,058.00

Comfortably sized guitar with beautiful tonewood that also looks amazing too.

There's something undeniably inviting about the Taylor GS Mini's scaled-down size, yet a single strum reveals the impressive voice of a full-size guitar. That mix of portability and musicality has proven to be a winning combination that fits into so many scenarios in life, from the couch to the campfire to the concert hall. It's not too big. It's not too precious. It's not too expensive. That broad-based accessibility has given it a resounding universal appeal, not to mention a built-in fun factor. The shorter 23-1/2 in. scale length makes forming chords a breeze yet gives the instrument plenty of snap and tuning stability for a rewarding playing experience. The acoustic-electric versions, like this GS Mini-e Koa Acoustic-Electric, come with Taylor's reliable ES-B electronics. All GS-Mini models include a durable hard bag built by Taylor for the optimal fit.

Tonewoods
A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. The GS Mini-E Koa features solid Hawaiian Koa, a hardwood that produces a natural compression, yielding more of a controlled "roll-in" effect to a note. The compression evens out a lively attack for a more balanced response. It delivers strong fundamentals with clear and direct focus - similar to mahogany - but with extra top-end shimmer and chime. The arched back of the guitar generates more sound from a small- bodied instrument, and using layered wood back and sides create a sturdy yet receptive platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top. Layered wood is also less succeptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.

Electronics
The GS Mini-e Koa is amplified via the Expression System Basic (ES-B) system, which incorporates piezo design elements from the flagship Taylor ES2 system. It's powered by an onboard preamp that includes a built-in digital chromatic tuner, an LED display for tuning and low battery indication, and Tone and Volume controls. The preamp/tuner is powered by two button cell 3v lithium (CR2032) batteries. Two new batteries will provide approximately 300 hours of use. The ES-B conserves battery life using a standard on/off system that will automatically turn off if left on over 3 minutes. A low battery indicator on the LED display (located on the preamp circuit board) will display an “L” when the battery reaches 4.5 volts.

A low battery indicator on the LED display (located on the preamp circuit board) will display an “L” when the battery reaches 4.5 volts.
