Taylor Guitars was founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, and has grown into the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars. Renowned for blending modern, innovative manufacturing techniques with a master craftsman's attention to detail, Taylor acoustic guitars are widely considered among the best-sounding and easiest to play in the world, with Bob himself being known throughout the musical instrument industry as the visionary acoustic guitar manufacturer.

The Taylor 400 Series is extremely popular, combining elegant aesthetics with tone-enhancing details. The Grand Auditorium models have the width and depth of a dreadnought but with a narrower waist, which gives them a sleeker look and more treble zing while also sharpening the definition of each note. The richly grained Sitka spruce top of this Limited Edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar pairs beautifully with Black Limba back and sides to deliver a powerful, beautifully balanced sound with punchy midrange focus and clear treble. Taylor's new patented V-Class bracing pattern coaxes new levels of projection, sustain, and improved intonation out of the guitar. The interior label on all V-Class guitars bears the signature of master guitar designer Andy Powers. This model is fitted with Taylor's ES2 system and is ready for the stage.
