Proving again that the Gold Label Collection offers fertile ground for collaboration, this Grand Concert acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of solid mahogany topped with torrefied spruce for an enticingly warm, woody midrange voice that combines a strong fundamental focus with pleasing articulation and impressive power across the frequency range. Inside, our fanned V-Class bracing dials up greater volume, sustain and low-end presence, while the roasting process for the spruce soundboard adds a touch of aged-in sweetness and depth. Along with the compact body shape, players will appreciate the easy microadjustability of the Action Control Neck as well as the adaptability of the Claria System electronics and their intuitive soundhole-mounted controls. Visual cues add up to a bold neo-vintage character, including a Honduran rosewood fretboard and peghead veneer, cream-colored binding and a matching rosette with black trim, a cream-colored pickguard, Crest inlays, polished bronze tuning machines, and bone bridge pins. Rounding out the package is a golden-brown shaded edgeburst top developed with Ben Harper himself, capped with a gloss finish for the top, back and sides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHighlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 6 String\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Concert (Deep Body)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBracing System: Fanned V-Class with Tonal Rout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronics: The Claria Acoustic Pickup System\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCase: British Cocoa Bronco Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRosette: Cream\/Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 2-piece (No Wedge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArmrest: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Wood: Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Cream Crest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Binding: Honduran Rosewood with Black Underlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer: Honduran Rosewood with Black Underlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay: Cream Crest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: White TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickguard: Cream\/Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor Polished Bronze with Polished Bronze Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrap Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnd Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Taylor Guitars\u003cbr\u003eModel: E525043018408930700\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I884336-N-0-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 887766146032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
