Taylor Taylor Catch Custom Maple Grand Auditorium in Lilac Wine
This stunning Taylor Catch Custom was built for the 2024 NAMM Show. Finished with a visually striking custom "Lilac Wine" color treatment for the back, sides and neck, this custom cutaway Grand Auditorium model delivers an enchanting appearance that mirrors its melodic beauty. It boasts a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with gorgeously figured Big Leaf maple back and sides, yielding a warm, played-in sound from the first strum along with maple's highly player-reflective character. Inside, Taylor's V-Class bracing adds volume and sustain that complement the torrefied top's extra sweetness and depth. Maple also comprises the neck, heel, heel cap, backstrap, Fishbones rosette, soundhole binding, and fretboard and peghead purfling. The top and rosette are embellished with sleek black and white purfling, with black purfling for the back and sides. Select shell appointments include a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, gray bone bridge pins with awabhi dots, and agoya peghead and fretboard inlays with a design from legacy limited-edition Grand Auditorium models. It is finished off with a full-body gloss finish and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuners in antique chrome. It features Taylor's onboard ES2 electronics with a built-in TaylorSense monitoring unit to keep track of proper humidification, and ships in a brown deluxe hardshell case.
