A Second Life for Urban Ash
V-Class Bracing
Our revolutionary new sonic engine powers each Builder’s Edition guitar, reshaping the sound to produce more volume and sustain, with notes that are more in tune from top to bottom.
Steel String Guitar with Pickup
The Grand Auditorium is Taylor’s most versatile body shape and equally suitable for a wide range of playing techniques. The Builders edition features Taylor`s V-Class Bracing, which provides higher volume, extended sustain, and improved intonation. The Urban Ash back and sides lend the guitar its deep basses, warm mid`s and brilliance in the treble. The top made of mahogany adds a warm tone. The rounded contours, arm rest and the beveled cutaway allow comfortable playing all the way to the highest frets. The satin shaded edge Burst reduces noise caused by friction on the body. The pickup is Taylor’s own active ES2 dynamic piezo system with bass, treble and volume controls.
