Secure a guitar that’s bound to be treasured forever, only while supplies of this Custom Catch last!Exquisite artisan tonewoods This Custom Catch’s emphasis on exemplary tonewood cuts ensures a memorable sound with a look that matches! The top is carved from solid Sitka spruce that was treated to a special roasting procedure known as torrefaction. This process enhances spruce’s musicality (and looks) by removing moisture and sugars for a lighter, more resonant top that vibrates with ease. Show-stopping back and sides carved from figured bigleaf maple keep tone clear and vibrant with a snappy response and strong string character to complement spruce’s power. Furthermore, a premium hard-rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide masterful support as you play. Between the frets, the ebony fingerboard is laced with ornate inlays carved from shell matched with similar headstock detailing for coordinated sophistication that’s destined to be the talk of the town!Balanced Grand Auditorium design The Grand Auditorium player-friendly design is built for professionals who want to hop from style to style quickly without switching guitars! One of Taylor’s iconic guitar shapes, the Grand Auditorium’s comfortable low profile sonically outsized by its strong voice and projection. Since it’s balanced across lows, mids, and highs, players who favor transparent-sounding guitars will love the Custom Catch #8’s warm and crisp fingerpicking response that darkens up when flatpicking or strumming with force. Moreover, for better access to upper frets, the Custom Catch #8 also features Taylor’s signature Venetian cutaway.Even more extras: Taylor ES2 electronics and the TaylorSense system From the first pluck to the final touch of sustain, the Custom Catch #8 oozes supplemental acoustic tone. As a result, Taylor equipped it with its proprietary Expression System 2 (ES2) for maximum instrumental authenticity. At the core of the ES2 is a precisely calibrated pickup resting behind the saddle for responsive, accurate capture and an enhanced dynamic range. On the body, three soft-touch control knobs ensure simple management over volume, treble, and bass output for essential fine-tuning, and a built-in phase switch on the preamp supplies an easy fix to live frequency feedback. It's all topped off with the company's renowned TaylorSense system, providing the status of your instrument's humidity, battery life, temperature, and impact for immediate maintenance and performance feedback.TaylorSense lets you monitor guitar health from your smart devices!Taylor Custom Catch #8 Grand Auditorium Acoustic-electric Guitar Features: Part of the exquisite Custom Catch tradition, passionately crafted annually in small quantities Versatile GA body with Venetian cutaway provides unrivaled comfort and sophisticated tone Solid torrefied Sitka spruce supplies foundational and a mature, seasoned voice Figured bigleaf maple back and sides shape a touch-sensitive response and display magnificent grain Elegant ebony fingerboard with “LTD” inlays made from shell Hard-rock maple neck fitted with the flagship Taylor profile V-Class bracing teases out strong projection with a heightened dynamic response Flame maple body binding, plus ebony binding at the fingerboard and headstock Gotoh 510 Antique tuners and bone bridge pins studded with Japanese abalone dots keep resonance strong ES2 electronics facilitate high-quality amplification, plus TaylorSense monitoring upgrades SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape C14ce Grand Auditorium Back & Sides Wood Big Leaf Maple Top Wood Sitka Spruce Top Finish Gloss Color Natural (top), Lilac Wine (back) Body Bracing V-Class Binding Flamed Maple Neck Wood Hard Rock Maple Neck Shape Standard Carve Radius 15" Fingerboard Material Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Shell Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Tusq/Micarta Bridge Material Crelicam Ebony Tuning Machines Gotoh 510 Electronics Taylor ES-2 Strings D'Addario XS Coated Light, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
