Taylor Custom #48 C22ce Shamel Ash/Shamel Ash Grand Concert Acoustic Electric Guitar – Dark Turquoise Metallic

Taylor Elegance – The Taylor Custom #48 C22ce Shamel Ash/Shamel Ash Grand Concert Acoustic Electric Guitar in Dark Turquoise Metallic

This custom cutaway Grand Concert acoustic-electric boasts a unique dark turquoise metallic color treatment, artful fretboard inlays and physical proportions perfect for players who prefer the intimate feel of a small-body guitar. Its solid Shamel ash body—sourced responsibly from municipal areas in Southern California—produces a focused, fundamental-strong voice with minimal overtones. Combined with our V-Class bracing for improved volume and sustain, this build offers unparalleled clarity and balance complemented by a bold visual style. Understated aesthetic details such as an ebony rosette, dark-stained bone bridge pins, satin black tuners and ebony binding keep the focus on the elaborate Tree fretboard inlay, featuring a Hawaiian koa trunk and paua leaves. This model includes ES2 electronics and a brown deluxe hardshell case.
