Up for grabs is a Grand Auditorium from the Taylor Custom Shop. This beauty features a Spruce top with Cocobolo back and sides. This is a guitar that we picked up at a Taylor Custom Shop Dealer event, and it's one of the best that we've ever had. After photographing it, I sat down and played it, and it has a sound that has left a smile on my face. It's a truly great sounding, playing, and looking guitar. Below are the specs, if you have any questions about this guitar, don't hesitate to give us a call.
