Custom Shop & Star's Music

The Gibson Custom Shop Made To Measure (M2M) program has been around since 2013. It allows you to place an order for the Gibson of your dreams (be it a Les Paul, an SG, an ES-335, an Explorer…), which you will have precisely determined the characteristics. It is this program that we can call on to build our own M2M models. Check out this collection on the Star’s Music website. If you want to build your dream guitar, just contact us so that we can select a reference model together (to be chosen from a list of instruments inspired in particular by the iconic guitars of Gibson's golden age), then the different options offered by the Custom Shop (body wood/neck/fingerboard, table grade, pickups, neck profile, fittings, colors, finish, etc.). These specifications are then sent to the Custom Shop for validation, quotation and evaluation of the delivery time. All you have to do is accept the quote and wait! Do not hesitate to contact us to find out more.

Players love Grand Concert acoustic guitars for their articulate sound and compact dimensions, and the strong>TAYLOR Custom Shop GC-E Grand Concert #1211083110 acoustic/electric guitar is no exception.
This beauty is made from premium soli tonewoods that our team slected at Taylor's factory. Torrefied Sitka Spruce for top, Blackheart Sassafras for back/sides, Maple neck, Ebony fretboard.
With tone-enhancing V-Class bracing and ES-2 electronics, it pumps out serious volume with blooming sustain.

Sitka Spruce is the common choice for top wood on most acoustic guitars. Offering combination of strength and elasticity which translates into a broad dynamic range, Sitka Spruce has a punchy direct sound, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for versatile playing, from dynamic strumming, flatpicking or fingerpicking.

Native to Tasmania, Blackheart Sassafras blends low-end warmth and dryness, top-end chime, and strong, focused projection. It merges some of the dry, woody response of Walnut or Mahogany, the note separation and focus of Maple or Myrtle and the top-end overtones of rosewood.
It fits a variety of playing styles in that its tonal personality tends to reflect the player.

The Taylor's small-body Grand Concert debuted in 1984 to meet the needs of a new wave of adventurous acoustic fingerstyle players. In contrast to the traditionally darker, boomier voices of bigger body styles like dreadnoughts and jumbos, the GC’s compact size and tapered waist kept the overtones in check. It was also more comfortable to play while sitting down, and the guitar’s slightly wider neck gave players more room for complex fingerings. The GC’s smaller sonic footprint also fit cleanly in a mix with other instruments when tracking in the studio and with a band on stage, making it a useful tool for professional session and side players.
Current generation of GC models continues to accommodate fingerstylists with finger-friendly traits like a shorter 24 7/8-inch scale length, which makes fretting easier and adds a slightly slinkier feel on the strings due to the lighter string tension. If you feel more comfortable with a small body or favor controlled overtones, a Grand Concert is a great option.

The torrefaction process improves overall tone of the wood (clearer and richer), increases sustain, and optimize stability and intonation.
