Welcome back to another Vault Friday! Each Friday I’ll venture into the Vault with one of our instrument specialists to showcase some of the cool stuff we’ve got hidden away in there.

This week we’re showcasing JC’s favorite guitar: the Taylor 35th Anniversary Armrest Cocobola. Like the other 35th Anniversary model’s we’ve featured, there are only 35 of this guitar in existence. It is unique in that, combined with some of the most beautiful cocobola we’ve seen, it features an edge bevel on the bass side of the guitar (AKA The “Armrest”). Inspired by luthier Grit Laskin, this treatment offers players the “coolest, most complex binding treatment you cna get on an acoustic”, as Bob Taylor describes it. This guitar has a Sitka spruce top with CV bracing, an abalone rosette, Gotoh tuners, and the Taylor Expression Electronics package. Check out the video below, or come in to take a look at this beautiful guitar!

Also, beginning this week, we’re using the new Zoom Q3 video recorder. We heard your comments that we should work on improving sound quality – Thanks for the feedback!

This week we have a Taylor GS5-E with a beautiful dark sunburst. This guitar is crafted with Taylor’s Grand Symphony body, a red spruce top, and American mahogany back and sides. This guitar features the Taylor Expression electronics package giving you pure, high-fidelity acoustic amplification for a more natural sound.
