Hawaiian Koa guitars have been a staple for Taylor Guitars and Haggerty's Music just loves everything about Koa. Hawaiian Koa is a gorgeous tone wood that has tiger strip flames on top of a luscious golden palette. Its beauty mesmerized everyone who looks at it and is not only a great sounding tone wood, but if hung on a wall, turns into a work of art. On top of its looks, tonally, it has a very wide frequency range that is balanced across the board. It has a unique trait in that over time, it will open up on the bass side and further expand the lower-end range. Sinker Redwood has been a staple with Taylor Guitars for many years and is always an acceptable addition to any guitar. Redwood only comes in one area of the planet. As its name implies, it has a red color in the wood. Sinker Redwood comes from one log that spent 80 years of its life at the bottom of the Mendocino River, till a storm came through and dislodged it. Over the years, it has collected silt and minerals at the bottom of the river and you see in the top of Sinker Redwood. The dark, randomized lines going up and down the top are evidence of the river. Take the guitar outside and you'll see the reflection of light as if you're staring down at the bottom of a river bed. Besides the cool story, this top sits between a spruce-top guitar and a cedar-top guitar. It has a stiffness similar to spruce to give you the volume you require but retains a nice warmth that is reminiscent to a cedar top guitar. This top makes a Nylon version of Taylor's 12-Fret Grand Concert the perfect match to Honduran Rosewood. The custom was designed to let the tonewoods do the talking by selecting the best sets to make this guitar. This guitar was purchased at a dealer-only event and was the actual guitar on display. Every year Taylor Guitars showcases a selection of Custom guitars that feature options you cannot get from their standard custom shop options. This provides a truly custom experience. These options include unique tonewoods, inlays, bridge pins, rosette designs, and custom tuning buttons.SPECSNumber of Strings: 6Body Shape: Grand ConcertCutaway: VentianElectronics: Expression System 2 with Taylor SenseOrientation: Right HandedBracing System: V-Class BracingColor: NaturalCase: Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell CaseTop Wood: Sinker RedwoodRosette: Paua Single Ring, Bound Sound Body Binding: West African CrelicamTop Finish: GlossBack/Side Wood: Hawaiian KoaArmrest: Radius West African Crelicam EbonyBack/Side Finish: GlossNeck Wood: Neo-tropical MahoganyNeck Profile: Standard CarveBackstrap: West African Crelicam EbonyFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam EbonyFretboard Inlay: Paua NouveauFretboard Binding: West African Crelicam EbonyNeck Finish: SatinNut Width: 1-3/4”Scale Length: 24-7/8”Peghead Type: SlottedPeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam EbonyPeghead Inlay: Paua NouveauPeghead Finish: GlossBridge: West African Crelicam EbonyBridge Pins: Stained Bone with Green Australian Opal DotsStrap Pin: NickelNut & Saddle: Black TUSQ Nut, White Micarta SaddleTuners: Slot-Head Nickel with West African Crelicam EbonyEnd Pin: Black
