Built in Taylor’s deeper Grand Pacific body, this model produces a broad, powerful low end with warm trebles and a smooth, blended response that still retains the clarity and definition Taylor is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, fanned V-Class bracing—applied with hot hide glue—enhances projection, sustain, and harmonic agreement across the fretboard. The long-tenon Action Control Neck further boosts resonance while allowing quick string height adjustments without removing the neck or loosening strings. Finished in a golden-brown Teardrop Sunburst with premium paua and mother-of-pearl detailing, this is a high-end dreadnought-style Taylor built for players who want depth, headroom, and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonduran rosewood back and sides with torrefied Adirondack spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep-body Grand Pacific design for powerful projection and low-end authority\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanned V-Class bracing with hot hide glue construction for resonance and sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-tenon Action Control Neck for tonal transfer and easy adjustability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeardrop Sunburst top with deluxe paua\/mother-of-pearl Continental inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Adirondack Spruce (Torrefied)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Side Wood: Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 4-Piece, Simons Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing System: Fanned V-Class with Tonal Rout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Honduran Rosewood and Paua Single Ring, Bound Sound Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: .080\" Grained Ivoroid, Round Over Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Golden Brown \"Teardrop SB\" Top, Natural Back\/Sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Mother-of-Pearl Continental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay: Mother-of-Pearl Continental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Honduran Rosewood Curve Wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: White TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: White Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Gotoh 510 Antique Chrome with Ebony EN01 Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics: LR Baggs Element VTC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 6 String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Ivoroid\/Tortoise with Engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Gold Label Hardshell Case – British Cocoa\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Tone Shop Guitars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Tone Shop Guitars, we pride ourselves on offering a curated selection of instruments backed by knowledgeable staff and exceptional customer service.
