Together with a solid Sitka spruce top, this model offers a warm, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and impressive low-end presence. The body sports a firestripe pickguard and our smooth, muted-sheen Silent Satin finish.

Like other 50th Anniversary Collection guitars, this versatile cutaway Grand Auditorium features a commemorative label inside, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots and premium Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners. It comes with ES2 electronics and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
