This guitar is a part of our run of customized acoustics built of handpicked woods and materials during a trip to the Taylor factory in El Cajon, California. Walking around the wood selection room with Andy Powers himself, he taught us about the sonic qualities of Port Orford Cedar- wood sourced from the Pacific Northwest that responds more like spruce than cedar with a quick attack, increased clarity and a higher-than-usual headroom. We used this top on a few builds, and for this GA paired it with a mind-blowing set of AA-grade quilt maple.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finish on this is an eye-catching Brushfire Burst, a color you don't see very often - usually used on top-tier NAMM showpiece instruments. It highlights the figuring in the maple very well. For inlays, a set of Belle Fleur patterns carved from MOP \u0026amp; abalone and the electronics in this guitar is the Taylor Claria pickup system! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eAcoustic-Electric Guitar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003e4 lbs, 14 oz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003e.850\" Neck Thickness at 1st Fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003e.890\" Neck Thickness at 9th Fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eBrushfire Burst Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eMusic Zoo-Handpicked Port Orford Cedar Top \u0026amp; AA-Grade Quilt Maple Back, Sides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eMaple Neck and Ebony Fretboard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003e25.5\" Scale Length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003e1-3\/4\" TUSQ Nut\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eMother of Pearl \u0026amp; Abalone 'Belle Fleur' Fretboard Inlays\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eEbony Overlay and Body Binding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eMaple and Black Body Inlay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eEbony \"Curve Wing\" Bridge with Ebony Pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eGotoh 510 Antique Gold Tuners\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"uir-field inputreadonly uir-user-styled uir-resizable\" data-nsps-type=\"field_input\" data-field-type=\"textarea\" aria-labelledby=\"custitem_field_specs_fs_lbl\"\u003eTaylor Claria Electronics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50520202281039,"sku":"69147","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0836\/files\/69147_Taylor_BRUSHFIRE_BURST_Custom_Builder_s_Edition_GA_Custom_C0951_1208076101_1.jpg?v=1790174630","url":"https:\/\/www.themusiczoo.com\/products\/taylor-custom-shop-builders-edition-grand-auditorium-music-zoo-spec-port-orford-cedar-aa-quilt-maple-brushfire-burst","provider":"The Music Zoo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
