Taylor Custom Grand Auditorium Factory Visit Hand Picked woods - Cedar/Blackhearted Sassafras

This guitar is a special custom built Grand Concert 12-fret that we selected woods for with Andy Powers, Taylor CEO; during a factory visit. The goal was to create a sweet and complex guitar with huge overtones and a quick response to a light touch with more muscle in the low end. The figure of Blackhearted Sassafras is unique with each set and offers a tone that is incomparable.

Photos of the wood selection as well as video of the process is available.
