Taylor Custom GA-e V-Class #1202140098 - shaded edgeburst

The TAYLOR Custom GA-e V-Class #1202140098 electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar is a Grand Auditorium work of art, featuring all-solid-wood construction (top, back, sides), Ebony fingerboard and V-Class bracing system.
An undeniable revolution in the field of acoustic guitars (developed by Andy Powers), the innovative V-Class bracing system gives the guitar exaggerated projection, fantastic tonal balance, greater intonation accuracy and extended sustain. An alternative to rosewood with superb, pronounced and musical mids, Blackwood is a noble species from New Zealand short-cycle pines.
Blackwood owes its superior acoustic performance to a specific treatment: it is first dried to bring its moisture content down to 10%, then impregnated under high pressure with catalysts and pigmenting agents. It is then dried again to a minimum moisture content (2/ 3%), before being impregnated under pressure a second time, but with resin.
The 3rd step is compression to reduce its mass and give it a high density, before it is finely sanded for impeccable appearance and contact. The Taylor Expression System 2 pre-amp is the fruit of many months of research, but the end result is remarkable. Few pre-amplifiers convey the intrinsic temperament and subtlety of an acoustic guitar with such rigor and finesse. The ES-2 is made up of three elements combining a dynamic sensor on the soundboard, another sensor located under the fingerboard, and finally a pre-amp whose voicing has been meticulously calibrated.
