Taylor C14ce 12 String NAMM 2025 Custom #21 Grand Auditorium - Mahogany/Torrefied Sitka

Taylor C14ce 12 String NAMM 2025 Custom #21 Grand Auditorium - Mahogany/Torrefied Sitka

Blending a beloved tonewood pairing with Taylor’s most popular body style and elegant grained ivoroid details, this custom 12-string Grand Auditorium offers a comfortable playing experience with the rich octave shimmer that players adore. The solid ribbon mahogany back and sides produce a warm, midrange-focused tone, while the Sitka spruce top enhances clarity and projection. Thanks to Taylor’s V-Class bracing, this model delivers bold volume, blooming sustain, and improved intonation.

Visually, the guitar stuns with a full-body gloss finish and a Honey Sunburst top that contrasts beautifully with the variegated ebony fretboard. The aesthetic is elevated by a Century peghead inlay, fretboard dot inlays, a peghead logo, and body and soundhole binding in grained ivoroid. Equipped with an ES2 pickup system and smoked nickel mini-tuners, this custom model is protected by a brown deluxe hardshell case—ready to inspire on stage or in the studio.
