This technology increases volume and sustain, while creating a precise response from the soundboard. Resulting sounds are full, consistent and harmonious along the fretboard. V-Class represents a new design platform, adaptable to different body styles and capable of infusing each with its own sonic identity.  Additionally, the guitar is equipped with ES2 electronics (with Taylor Sense), for the best, \"truest\" tone possible when plugged in.  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is a special guitar - and one that you haven't seen the exact likes of before.  It includes a deluxe hardshell case.  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\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Strings: \u003c\/b\u003e6-String\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eGrand Auditorium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCutaway: \u003c\/b\u003eVenetian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics: \u003c\/b\u003eExpression System 2 with TaylorSense\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eEuropean Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Single Ring Bound Sound Hole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eCocobolo with Chamfered Edges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eNeo-tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard Carve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eBoxwood Split Diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eStained Bone with Red Australian Opal Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick Guard: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrap Pin: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrientation: \u003c\/b\u003eRight Handed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing System: \u003c\/b\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor: \u003c\/b\u003eLight Shaded Edge Burst B\/S\/N, Natural Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\/Bag: \u003c\/b\u003eBrown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack \/ Side Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eOregon Myrtlewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Configuration: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece, No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side: \u003c\/b\u003eFinish Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25-1\/2\"\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003ePaddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003eD'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Polished Bronze with Custom Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnd Pin: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART# M028002117307690415-24C01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerail # 1201294119\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791284302067,"sku":"04TAY183","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img2189.jpg?v=1738886162","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/taylor-custom-grand-auditorium-c14ce-figured-myrtlewood-catch-1-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
