The Grand Auditorium Western guitar guarantees great stage performances due to selected tonewoods, a pleasant feel and a chic design

Due to its woods and V-Class bracing, the guitar produces an assertive, clear sound

Sound and construction

The Grand Auditorium guitar with rosewood body is equipped with a top made of sinker redwood. This rare wood comes from previously felled redwoods, many of which have been in the waters of Northern California rivers for more than a century. It has a powerful response and produces a brilliant tone that is complemented by warm overtones and kept pristine by the matte finish. Taylor's patented V-Class bracing rounds out the sound characteristics with clear, clean and dynamic tones.

Due to its pleasant playability and the pickup system, the Custom GA #27 feels good in the hand

Handling

Thanks to its well-designed construction, the guitar impresses not only with its excellent performance, but also with high playing comfort. Due to its medium size and the 44.5 mm wide nut, it fits well in the hand and is therefore a good choice for long playing sessions. furthermore, the nut dimensions are ideal for flatpicking and strumming. Even the high registers are uncomplicated to play, because the body through the cutaway is no obstacle when gripping.

Excellent stage performance with the help of the Taylor Expression System 2

Electronics

A successful performance is also made possible by Taylor's proprietary Expression System 2. The pickup system ensures unaltered, loud signal transmission and preserves the guitar's natural characteristics. Three pickup sensors develop a higher dynamic range and, in combination with Taylor's specially developed "Professional Audio" preamp, produce an amplified sound as well as excellent responsiveness.

A noble finish and optical highlights give the guitar an attractive appearance

Design

Rounding out the Custom GA #27 is its exceptionally grained Finish with intricate details. Because mud and mineral-rich water have long affected the wood, Sinker Redwood has a wide spectrum of colors. Paua leaf pattern inlays and other embellishments give the guitar a delicate, refined appearance. The result is an instrument that, in addition to great performance and playability, adds tremendous value to the stage set.

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 jet-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.
