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!

We’ve got another Taylor this week: The Taylor GS6 Acoustic Guitar with the Taylor Expression electronics package. This guitar features beautiful curly maple back and sides, with a solid sitka spruce top. Keeping in line with the GS5 we showcased last week, it has a light sunburst  that really makes it pop visually. This guitar sounds great, with the balanced tone that Taylor is known for – check out the video below to hear it yourself!

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. Visually, this guitar is elegant in its simplicity – offering abalone dots and rosette, an ebony fretboard, gold Taylor tuners, and omitting a pick guard.

We’re showcasing another one of the Taylor 35th Anniversary guitars today, the Baritone. Befitting its name, this guitar  features a longer scale length (27 inches), allowing the guitar to be played in a lower register without sacrificing string tension. The Baritone is tuned in B and features Indian Rosewood back and sides with a Sitka Spruce top. Singer-songwriters who prefer the lower registers and guitarists who favor a deep, gritty sound will really love this guitar.
