Description
The Taylor Custom #2 Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar features a stunning body made of cocobolo, complemented visually and sonically by a sinker redwood top. The slightly smaller Grand Concert body shape yields more controlled overtones, allowing the guitar to be heard more clearly. It particularly suits fingerstyle players, light strummers and flatpickers, as well as playing on a lap or couch. The Custom #2 also features Taylor V-Class bracing, which boosts volume and sustain, and creates purer, more orderly notes.
The Custom #2’s sound is amplified by the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics—the heart of which is a patented behind-the-saddle pickup with three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly, whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The ES2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use Volume and active Bass and Treble controls. Additional appointments include a tropical vine fingerboard pattern, island vine headplate and figured Hawaiian koa binding. Comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
