This guitar is a part of our first run of customized Gold Label Super Auditoriums made 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, we came across this stunning set of AA-grade Hawaiian Koa. No one uses Koa quite like Taylor, so we knew that we were in good hands to create a big-bodied acoustic that looked visually stunning. Wanting the Koa to be the focus of the visuals, we went with dark ebony for the binding with a single-ring rosette with a bound soundhole and pale green abalone 'Reflections' inlays in the ebony fretboard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeing a Gold Label Collection guitar, this Super Auditorium has fanned V-Class bracing pattern that has a fan-like arrangement of braces in the lower bout - all set in place with traditional hot hide glue. The guitars feature a new long tenon neck joint to result in greater low-end resonance and a similarity in feel\/tone to historic acoustics that feature dovetail neck joints. What's unique about Taylors use of the long-tenon is that it remains glueless and brings even easier micro-adjustment ability to the neck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisually, each Gold Label Collection guitar has aesthetics based off of vintage banjos and mandolins, early Taylor designs from the 1970s and Andy's own pre-Taylor work on archtop guitars. There's a new headstock shape with an angled back cut and reinterpretation of the Taylor logo. The bridge is a curve wing design carved of Honduran rosewood rather than ebony and they are paired with bone bridge pins. Each Gold Label Collection guitar will also be loaded with L.R. Baggs Element electronics.\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, 10 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.840\" 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.870\" 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\"\u003eNatural 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\"\u003eHandpicked AA-Grade Figured Hawaiian Koa Top, Back and 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\"\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\"\u003ePale Green Abalone 'Reflections' 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\"\u003eHawaiian Koa Headstock Overlay, Ebony 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\"\u003eHonduran Rosewood \"Curve Wing\" Bridge with Bone 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 Tuners with Ebony Buttons\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\"\u003eL.R.
