SoldTaylor Custom GA
Behold! We carefully designed this custom Taylor with a winning and classic combination of Redwood and master grade Walnut (stole that from the Santa Cruz playbook) and bound in stunning curly Maple, with Maple beveled arm-rest (stolen from the Lowden playbook).

This thing has a buttery, smooth tone with clarity and articulation that will blow your socks off. It is stunning and comfortable to play and whoever ends up with this guitar is going to be supremely happy as the lush tones wash over them. Get it before it is gone!
