Taylor Guitars By Series Guide

Some instruments you find. Others you build. Taylor's Custom program lets you spec a guitar from the ground up - body shape, tonewoods, and appointments chosen to your ear and eye. The result is one of a kind, and built to outlast you.

We place Custom orders directly through Taylor as an authorized dealer, so the conversation starts here, on the floor, with someone who plays. And if you'd rather hear before you commit, we also carry Taylor's limited runs - including Gold Label instruments - pre-built and ready to play in the room.

This is the top of the Taylor line - the guitars they build when nothing is being held back. The Presentation Series pairs highly exclusive tonewoods with Taylor's most detailed visual work, and it shows the moment you pick one up. Honduran rosewood under premium tops like striped sinker redwood or Adirondack spruce gives these instruments a deep, resonant low end and overtones that bloom and hang in the air.

These are heirloom instruments, the kind appreciated for generations.

Taylor’s Gold Label guitars are for musicians who love the character of pre-war acoustics but want the feel and reliability of a new, pro-level instrument.
