Design and tone woods produce excellent sound

Blackwood body and V-class bracing for masterful tones.

Due to its Grand Concert design, the Custom GC 12-Fret #37 offers the perfect blend of great sound characteristics and feedback insensitivity. Especially for live performances this is a valuable feature. Since both top and body are furthermore solid, a high vibration, which is especially noticeable in the basses, and fast response are created. The basses are supported by the complete manufacturing of Blackwood and complemented by strong mids and brilliant highs. The patented Taylor V-Class bra cing also contributes to an excellent sound. Clear, clean and dynamic tones result from this special bracing, while the matte finish helps ensure pristine sound reproduction. An absolute asset to any performance.

Pleasant handling for maximum playing comfort

Grip mahogany neck

The guitar neck of this model is made of mahogany, by far the most common type of wood used for guitar necks. Thus, it fits well in the hand due to its stability and a pleasant weight, and it is extremely comfortable to play with the help of the ebony fingerboard. The nut width of 44.45 mm fulfills all requirements for fingerpicking, flatpicking and powerful strumming. Conveniently, the generous cutaway also grants unproblematic access to the high registers, while the in-house tuners guarantee high tuning stability. These practical features open up a huge spectrum of possibilities for the use of the instrument.

Successful performances due to amplified play thanks to pickup system

Taylor Expression System 2

The guitar achieves best stage suitability through the Expression System 2, which was developed for a natural and loud signal transmission. In doing so, it reproduces the sound completely unaltered and optimally brings out the authentic character of a Taylor guitar. The pickup system features three sensors for increased dynamic range, exceptional gain and superb responsiveness. Absolutely innovative.

Noble design in natural finish enhances the stage set

Natural design

The guitar is rounded off by its Natural look, which skillfully highlights the extraordinary grain of the wood. Optical details further enhance the appearance. The single-ring rosette harmonizes perfectly with the maple bindings, while the inlays in the form of Custom S-curves not only provide good orientation on the fingerboard, but are also an additional eye-catcher.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled crafts men results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony 's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, not only black ebony elements are found in Taylor guitars, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the negative ecological effects that accompany it.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
