From 2001, we have a very rare and now iconic Taylor “Gallery Series Living Jewels” Dreadnought. It features Big Leaf Quilted Maple for the back and sides, and Bearclaw Spruce on top. Aside from its obvious beauty, this guitar is unique—#97 of 100. Not to be coy (pun intended), it’s also famous. This model has been used occasionally by the one and only Taylor Swift. The Gallery Series inlay art is based on the works of Pete Davies Jr., who worked at Taylor Guitars with his parents. The series had two other variations: one with sea turtles and another with Gray Whales. This particular Koi variety is the model Miss Swift is renowned for rocking out with. This guitar is ornate and intricately detailed. The chatoyant qualities of the timbers take on new meaning, considering the Koi fish inhabiting the fingerboard and rosette.

Soup up Taylor’s 814ce body with Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce? Yes, please! The use of such night-dark Brazilian Rosewood makes for added glass and bass response, separating this one from many other Taylors that have come through our shop without sacrificing any of the top end sparkle. Maple bindings throughout, Taylor’s Expression II pickup system with onboard EQ, and a striped wood pickguard to contrast the pale Spruce top.

To honor Bob’s 30th anniversary building guitars under the Taylor name, a limited number of premium XXX guitars were built. We’ve got number 8 of 150 here, an exquisite Grand Concert in Brazilian Rosewood and Engelmann Spruce that’s topped off with commemorative inlays across the fretboard extension and a slotted headstock on a 14-fret neck. Since 2004, this Taylor has been well-cared for with hardly a mark on her mirror-sheen body.
We were delighted to find an added layer of definition and sustain in the bass register which paired well with the smooth and crisp top end. Since it’s such an excellent fingerstyle guitar, we put it through its paces in a few open tunings, and found Taylor’s trademark playability to shine through in each. The body and rosette are trimmed out in dark Abalone, and the neck has a neck with a crushed velvet-like feel that remains smooth to the touch even after our hands warmed up, as can happen with a glossy neck. It’s a wonder this Taylor XXX-BE has been so well preserved, and we’re proud to offer it in such fine condition.

The Grand Concert model from the 900 Series boasts all-solid tonewoods, V-Class bracing and a rich appointment package that makes it an inspiration in both sound and visuals. The 912ce’s compact body shape lends it an inviting, intimate feel while playing, made even more comfortable by the ebony radius-style armrest and slender Taylor neck. The interior bracing scheme adds more volume and sustain to complement the warmth and articulation of the rosewood/spruce tonewoods, resulting in a balanced sound with clear definition between notes that will especially please fingerstyle players. Appointments such as ebony binding and Ascension inlays in paua and pearl elevate this model’s visual character. It ships with ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.

Here’s a special treat from the fine folks at Taylor Guitars! Under the guidance of Andy Powers, they’ve moved in some pretty awesome directions, including this 2020 Custom GC 12-Fret with Queen’s Walnut and Sinker Redwood! The pairing of those two makes for a warm midrange and crisp trebles, plus an even note decay across the registers, made possible with Andy’s new V Class bracing system. Visually, the rich reds on top complement the dramatic and colorful figuring on the back, and Taylor finished this beauty in satin to let them both pop. Abalone top trim ties into the rosette for a tasteful touch of sparkle. 12 frets to the body plus a short scale setup make for an effortless playing experience—another hallmark of Taylor guitars. This one also features a slotted headstock to further set it apart.

Pull out all the stops, and then pull out some more, and you’ll get Taylor’s primo line of Builder’s Edition instruments. This 2018 K14ce is like new, but wide open under the hood. Koa back and sides pair up with Sitka Spruce on top in a satin finish that feels like velvet to the touch. At the lower bout they’ve added a Ryan-style arm bevel, and the Venetian Cutaway has been reengineered with a smooth contour to the neck heel and a beveled top edge for effortless upper fretboard work for the left hand. The Expression System 2 is plug-n-play perfection, warm and faithfully acoustic at a touch. The Grand Auditorium body boasts a generous 16 inch lower bout for added projection and power. We’re happy to report that this K14ce Builder’s Edition has a lot of gears, and responds beautifully to both a light attack and a more aggressive hand.

Every guitar player needs a great acoustic guitar – or several – in their collection. Finding the right acoustic guitar for you can be a daunting process even for the most seasoned player. If you are new to shopping for guitars, then it is even more critical that you learn all you can before you make your first purchase. If your first acoustic guitar is not the appropriate choice for you, then it can dramatically reduce the enjoyment you will get out of your instrument. If you are a new guitar player, the wrong guitar can be downright discouraging. You want a guitar that fits you, is effortless to play, and has the rich, beautiful tone you love to make it the instrument you dream of playing hour after hour.
