Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium is a versatile acoustic that delivers a balanced, articulate voice with plenty of clarity and warmth. Its Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood body create rich overtones, strong projection, and a smooth low end, while the V-Class bracing adds sustain and consistency across the neck. The Grand Auditorium shape responds well to both strumming and fingerstyle playing, making it highly adaptable. Finished with a striking Midnight Burst top and koa appointments, it offers an elegant, refined look. Clear, dynamic, and easy to connect with, this Custom build provides a polished, expressive tone.
