Designed with one of contemporary Christian music's most prolific and celebrated artists, the Steven Curtis Chapman Signature Model (SCCSM) is based on the Grand Auditorium 714 that has long been Chapman's favorite acoustic guitar for recording and performance. The guitar features Indian rosewood back and sides, a tobacco sunburst cedar top, and Indian rosewood binding.

The fretboard and headstock inlay designs honor Chapman's daughter Maria, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 5. Both inlays are recreations of Maria�s drawings. The headstock inlay is a flower with a single petal colored in blue, while the fretboard design features a mother-of-pearl butterfly in at the 12th fret, accompanied by the word "SEE" in Maria's handwriting. Pearl fret marker dots are aligned along the bass side.

Other features include an abalone rosette, abalone-dotted bridge pins, and
Taylor Expression System electronics. Each SCCSM comes with a
custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity
personally signed by Chapman.
