This cutaway acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium blends layered walnut back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, making it a great all-around acoustic that responds well to strumming, flatpicking and fingerpicking. With our patented Taylor neck, you’ll enjoy easy playability and accurate intonation as long as you own the guitar, and the slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width makes forming barre chords easier on the hands.  The Venetian cutaway gives you access to more upper-end fretboard real estate, while our dynamic Expression System 2 pickup produces a natural amplified acoustic voice that will help you sound your best whenever you plug in. The clean appointment scheme includes Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, plus black binding and a black pickguard that complement the look of the genuine ebony fretboard and bridge. The guitar includes a lightweight protective gig bag for easy portability.

Fans of Hawaiian koa will love the look, feel and sound of this all-koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid koa top, which is paired with layered koa back and sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium’s musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and the hardwood koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway and Taylor’s ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking “fishbone” pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays, and chrome tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

We at Martin Music are friends of left-handed folk. We care about left-handed people, unlike some shops. I won't mention any names, but you know who I'm talking about. All kidding aside, for our left-handed friends, we are proud to offer this fine Martin 00016GT L. It's a very cool guitar from 2011. It shows some cosmetic wear. There are some small dings and scuffs, but no cracks or separations. The frets are in perfect condition, and the neck is straight and true. Overall the condition is very good, plus. The action is nice and comfortable. It sounds great; strong and vibrant. For those unfamiliar with the 000-16GT specs, go to Martin's web site. Briefly, the 000-16GT is a solid, all-wood (no laminate) guitar with spruce top and mahogany sides and back. The 000-16GT is a smaller body guitar compared to the standard dreadnought, and essentially the same size as Clapton played on Unplugged. The feel is very comfortable. It's a great guitar, American made, all solid wood, left-handed, and...it's a Martin. Comes with original hardshell case.

The acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium 414ce-R responds well to an array of playing styles thanks to Taylor’s flagship body shape and the classic pairing of rosewood and spruce. Rosewood lends a lively overtone sparkle to the treble notes, while the guitar’s overall voice delivers a pleasing mix of warmth and tonal definition. Whether you like to strum, flatpick or play fingerstyle, this guitar makes an inspiring playing partner. Contemporary aesthetic strokes include white binding, Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a three-ring rosette, and a full-gloss body. The guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 acoustic electronics along with a Venetian cutaway, and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

A rich-grained mahogany top paired with Tasmanian blackwood back and sides give Taylor’s medium-size cutaway Grand Auditorium body plenty of tonal and visual character. The clear, punchy midrange behaves well in a mix with other instruments, and delivers the kind of musical versatility that makes this a reliable guitar in different playing scenarios. Neo-traditional appointments complement mahogany’s dark, vintage looks, including a shaded edgeburst top and all-satin finish. The guitar incorporates a Venetian cutaway and comes equipped with Expression System 2 electronics for a dynamic amplified acoustic sound.

Okay, you and your buddies are talking guitars, 'cause guitar players love to talk about their guitars. One buddy says, "My Taylor is really cool, it's an early model". Because you're a nice guy, you say, "Man, that's cool"; then casually mention, "Mine is a prototype". Dead silence...the guy is completely shut down. With any luck at all, he'll go into an alcoholic tailspin, and you'll never have to look at him again. Well, that may be a bit harsh, but he probably deserved it. Here's the deal, Taylor made this guitar in the USA as a prototype for a limited edition run that was sold to the Japanese market exclusively. It is a Taylor 514CE Japan Limited, but with a few different aesthetics from the ones made for the USA market - most notably a satin finish and dot inlays. The back and sides are tropical mahogany, and the top is Western Red Cedar. It has the new Expression 2 pickup system. It's new, from the factory, and comes with full warranty. It sounds great, looks great, and has that little extra bump of coolness because it's a prototype. It's doubtful you'll find another one like this in the USA. Let your buddy stew on that!

This is a cool and rare guitar. It's a monster. We have a 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Advanced Jumbo Brazilian. That's right, Brazilian Rosewood. How cool is that? This guitar looks and sounds unbelievable. It plays great: the action is nice, low, and easy. It's great for finger picking AND strumming. Everything you'd want out of a Gibson acoustic. Jackson Browne has one of these, along with his 30's Advanced Jumbos. The bridge has been reglued; no other issues or repairs. There is light wear, nicks, dings, and scratches - nothing major. The finish has sunken into the grain in places on the back: typical of lacquer finishes on Brazilian rosewood. Still overall the condition is excellent. The sunburst finish looks so authentic; as does the pickguard, which is the old-style striped kind. The neck is wide and big, and feels great. It's got a 1 7/8" nut width. It has open back Grover tuners as well. Gibson will not be making any more Brazilian Rosewood guitars, and this one is priced right. Comes with hard shell case.

This is one of the best sounding ES-330's we've come across. A vintage 1960 ES-330TD. There's a vibe in the old wood of this guitar you don't hear in the new models. Played acoustically it's loud and resonant...it vibrates on your arm, the back of your hand, against your ribs, or any other part of your body that touching it. It feels alive. Plugged in this guitar really shines. It comes close to doing everything you could want. The bride pickup has a twang that can rival a Tele but with a fattness a Tele doesn't have. The neck pickup is big and punchy with a woody tone that you've always wanted but have seldom heard. The ES-330TD was debuted in 1959 as a thinline with creme plastic body binding on top, back and three sides of the rosewood fingerboard. It had the postwar script "Gibson" logo at the top of its ebony overlaid glossy finished headplate, and below that there is no further decoration, just a white bordered black bell-shaped truss rod cover held in plate by two roundhead Phillips screws. Factory order number R2795. This model has the twin rounded cutaway and also a shorter length neck than the ES-335 had. The scale length is approximately 24 1/2" nut to saddle. The width of the fingerboard at the nut is 1 11/16" with an E-to-E string width at the saddle of 2". It has an elevated black plastic pickguard with edges that are laminated with white-black-white border. It has twin black plastic P-90 pickups which have a "dog ear" on the bass side, but a squared side on the treble. It has a tune-o-matic bridge, meaning that it is fully adjustable both vertically and individually adjustable both forward and backward. The pearloid fret marker at the 15th fret has been replaced and the treble side binding from the first to 9th fret has been replace. Other than those two repairs this guitar is all original. Comes with modern hardshell case.
