A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship – The Taylor NAMM 2025 Custom #26 C14ce B5026 Acoustic-Electric Guitar
For this custom model, we’ve adorned our versatile, popular cutaway Grand Auditorium body with a sparkling Silver Cranberry Supernova color shift gradient that highlights varied hues depending on the viewing angle. A hand-selecteds set of quilted Big Leaf maple back and sides and a Sitka spruce top yield a clear, balanced voice with a rewarding blend of clarity and warmth that reflects the nuances of each player’s touch. Thanks to volume-boosting, sustain-enhancing V-Class interior bracing, notes stay more in tune along the entirety of the Hard Rock maple neck and ebony fretboard, with a sharp Florentine cutaway providing access to the guitar’s upper register. Along with the unique color treatment, this acoustic-electric boasts standout visuals such as Spires fretboard inlays, a green abalone rosette, a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, ebony binding, a full-body gloss finish and a shaded edgeburst around the body and neck. Outfitted with satin black tuning machines and ES2 electronics, this custom Grand Auditorium ships in a brown deluxe hardshell case.
