The Story

Custom Shop BTO Quilted Sapele 12 String Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Natural

This twelve-string Grand Auditorium Taylor was special ordered straight from the Taylor factory. An Engelmann Spruce top and Quilted Sapele back and sides are finished in a Natural gloss. The Mahogany neck is topped with a 21 fret Ebony fingerboard inlaid with Boxwood in a Diamond pattern. The guitar sounds as good as it looks, with tight low-end from the Sapele back, and excellent projection from the Spruce top.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Hang Tags, Pickguard (uninstalled), Certificate of Authenticity, Build Sheet, Paperwork
