The midrange has a rich, sweet quality.  With both the lows and highs projecting nicely and evenly.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Neo-tropical Mahogany neck has Taylor's Standard Carve neck profile, and is topped with a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, with matching binding.  Again, be sure to look closely at the photos, to see the Paua 600 Series Leaf Pattern inlays.   Another nice touch that we have to point is what Taylor did for the bridge pins - they are Stained Bone with Green Australian Opal Dots.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eObviously this is a special guitar, and we are excited to have it.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it today, or order right here for it to be expertly packed and safely shipped to your home.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePart # M028002111006050134-22C17\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerial # 1209142152\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Strings: \u003c\/b\u003e6 String\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Orientation: \u003c\/b\u003e Right Handed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eGrand Auditorium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing System: \u003c\/b\u003e V-Class Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCutaway: \u003c\/b\u003eVenetian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor : \u003c\/b\u003eShaded Edgeburst \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics: \u003c\/b\u003eExpression System 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase \/ Bag: \u003c\/b\u003e Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop: \u003c\/b\u003eAdirondack Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack \/ Side: \u003c\/b\u003e Wood Tasmanian Blackwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette: \u003c\/b\u003ePaua Single Ring, Bound Sound Hole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Configuration: \u003c\/b\u003e 2-Piece, No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eCocobolo \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack \/ Side Finish: \u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Wood: \u003c\/b\u003e Neo-tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard Carve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003e Paddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: \u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003ePaua 600 Series Leaf Pattern \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding: \u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle : \u003c\/b\u003eBlack TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eStained Bone with Green Australian Opal Dots \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003eElixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick Guard: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003e Gotoh 510 Antique Gold with Antique Gold Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrap Pin: \u003c\/b\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnd Pin : \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43446341468403,"sku":"04TAY150","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF4319.jpg?v=1738886153","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/taylor-custom-grand-auditorium-adirondack-spruce-and-cocobolo-natural","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
