Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium Port Orford Cedar/Honduran Rosewood

This Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium is a showcase of artistry and craftsmanship, built with hand-selected tonewoods chosen personally by the Detroit Guitar crew during their visit to El Cajon. Its Port Orford cedar top delivers a responsive, articulate voice with shimmering highs and remarkable dynamic range. Paired with the lush warmth and depth of Honduran rosewood back and sides, the guitar projects both power and nuance, perfect for fingerstyle and strumming alike. An special ebony fingerboard adds smooth playability and a refined aesthetic, complementing the guitar’s elegant design.

Every wood set was carefully inspected and chosen by hand, ensuring the finest tonal qualities and striking visual appeal. The cedar’s quick response pairs beautifully with rosewood’s harmonic richness, creating a voice that is both balanced and inspiring.

This model not only captures the sonic essence of Taylor’s artistry, but also carries the personal touch of Detroit Guitar’s selection process. With premium materials, flawless build quality, and a story rooted in collaboration, this Custom Grand Auditorium stands as a one-of-a-kind heirloom. A guitar of this caliber is designed to inspire players and collectors alike.
