Featuring red and yellow inlaid wooden flames reaching down the fretboard toward the Florentine cutaway and encircling the soundhole in a ring of fire, the limited-edition guitar came in two versions: a black Jumbo and a Grand Auditorium with red back and sides and a natural top. This updated custom build presents the same inlay scheme and visual aesthetic as the original black model, but with a cutaway Grand Auditorium body and figured Big Leaf maple. Updates include satinwood yellow flame inlays and the bloodwood for the red purfling. Modern performance-focused enhancements include innovative V-Class interior voicing architecture, ES2 electronics and satin black tuners. It ships in a brown deluxe hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing System: V-Class Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutaway: Florentine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \/ Side Wood: Big Leaf Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Yellow Flames with Red Purfling Hot Rod Flames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 2-Piece, No Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest: None\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: Hard Rock Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Yellow Flames with Red Purfling Hot Rod Flames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Black TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor Satin Black with Satin Black 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Expression System 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Orientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase \/ Bag: Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Taylor Guitars\u003cbr\u003eModel: HOT ROD 3.0\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I818671-N-1202285098-1-WHXD\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.
