The Masterclass Auditorium is an instrument that defies its genre. It can accommodate an array of alternate tunings while still offering accentuated hues across its tonal palette, for a voice that is both elegant and earthy. Learn More

A premium upgrade to Taylor’s popular Grand Auditorium ovangkol/spruce 414ce substitutes much rarer Engelmann spruce in place of Sitka. Engelmann’s appealing tonal properties yield a mature, played-in sound right out of the case, with a slightly richer midrange than Sitka. Together with the rosewood-like tonal range of ovangkol and Taylor’s Performance bracing, players will love the overall volume, warmth and sustain, with signature Taylor balance and clarity across the entire tonal spectrum. A shaded edgeburst adds another unique touch, wrapping the entire body in warm, neo-vintage character. Other featured details include Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, white binding, a full-gloss body, Taylor nickel tuners, a Venetian cutaway, and Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics. The guitar features a Special Edition label inside and ships with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case. Learn More

We based this Custom Shop Martin on the discontinued Vintage series 0-28VS and we've been ordering it for LA Guitar Sales ever since that model was dropped. We changed the neck to modified low oval with 1-3/4" nut and 2-1/4" saddle spacing which translates to a more versatile and more playable acoustic for most folks. That along with premium woods throughout, Waverly tuners and a nice light construction mean this guitar looks and sounds as good as it plays. Learn More

This 12-Fret Grand Concert (GC) BTO features hand selected Macassar Ebony back and sides with select Engelmann soundboard for a mellow but powerful tone. We opted for a solid headstock on this 12-Fret so we can use the amazing Gotoh 510 tuners and have the option of the Cundy headstock inlay as well Learn More

Within Taylors guitar line, the Presentation Series stands out as the paragon of Taylor luthiery. This limited edition 12-fret Grand Auditorium showcases those same top-tier aesthetic virtues with the breathtaking pairing of striped West African ebony, sourced from Taylor’s Crelicam ebony mill in Cameroon, with richly variegated sinker redwood. The tight-grained redwood tops were sliced from old-growth logs reclaimed from the bottom of a California river, whose mineral-rich river bed infused the wood with an array of color hues. Sonically, redwood blends the warm overtone complexity of cedar with the attacking power of spruce, while ebony yields some of rosewood’s bell-like fidelity but with the more linear output of maple. The magic here is in the fusion of these tonal nuances with a 12-fret Grand Auditorium body. Players can expect a warm, balanced response that packs an extra punch with the help of the redwood top and the 12-fret’s shifted bridge location. The guitar is detailed with our finest Presentation Series appointments, including ebony binding with a beveled ebony armrest, elaborate Nouveau paua inlays and edge trim, and gold Gotoh tuners with a 21:1 tuning ratio for maximum precision. The guitar comes equipped with Expression System 2 electronics and ships in a deluxe hardshell case. Learn More

One of the heaviest, densest rosewoods around, Cocobolo yields a bright, articulate voice. For this Cocobolo/Sitka Spruce offering, Cocobolo was also incorporated visually into the inlays on the front of the guitars. A band of cocobolo trim traces the top, while the rosette motif features cocobolo as an S-curve that contrasts with buttery boxwood, a slow-growing wood with a density comparable to ebony. Boxwood was also used for a new Split Diamond fretboard inlay, which visually references the rosette's S-curve. Other wood-rich appointments include a cocobolo backstrap and figured maple binding. Tonally, Cocobolo's density translates into a beautifully clear, bell-like tone, with a piano-like quality to the low notes. Learn More
