Taylor Custom GA Hawaiian Koa

Amazing Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium with Hawaiian Koa top, sides and back!

What a gem we received again from the Taylor Custom Shop. To properly describe this guitar, you can't help but start with the type of wood used: Hawaiian Koa. This type of wood not only looks great with its bizarre, flamed pattern; This GA Custom also owes its sound to Hawaiian Koa. And that sound is at least as impressive as the looks! This Grand Auditorium sounds crystal clear and has a clear, fast attack. What is striking about many instruments made from Koa is the excellent string separation ; you hear each string clearly without them getting in each other's way. The Mahogany neck offers a nice counterbalance to all that clarity in the form of a touch of extra warmth. The projection and dynamics - everywhere on the neck - are also of absolute top class thanks to the V-Class Bracing. This Custom GA is further completed by green abalone reflections inlays, an abalone rosette and a very chic flame maple armrest for extra playing comfort. Comes with Expression System 2 and a nice Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case.
