Every musician deserves a truly high-end acoustic guitar. So, why not get one custom spec’d by us? On a recent visit to Taylor, a group of Sweetwater Sales Engineers conceived the Custom Grand Pacific. This show-stopping acoustic guitar consists of a 4-piece Adirondack spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides. Those tonewoods, combined with the Grand Pacific body shape, deliver a deep, warm tonality that effortlessly fills the room. Add in an easy-playing "V"-shaped mahogany neck, and you have yourself a recipe for 6-string success onstage and in the studio. Speaking of the concert stage, the Taylor Custom Grand Pacific shines there, too, thanks to its onboard ES-2 electronics.

A top straight out of tomorrow





Sourcing full-width cuts of Adirondack spruce is increasingly difficult. Taylor, as they always do, chose to innovate. Your new Custom Grand Pacific comes with a 4-piece Adirondack spruce top. Each piece of spruce is carefully selected for straight, strong grain, which helps the top deliver top-shelf tone and ensures it looks like a normal 2-piece guitar top. The 4-piece spruce top is paired with solid mahogany back and sides for extra warmth and resonance.

Grand Pacific body shape





Taylor introduced the Grand Pacific body shape in 2019 to critical acclaim. The Grand Pacific takes the traditional slope-shouldered dreadnought design and updates it for today’s players. Buoyed by Taylor’s V-Class architecture, the Grand Pacific gives you a round, broad sound with warm overtones. Plus, the powerful bass response is always controlled and never muddy, even under heavy strumming. With a Grand Pacific guitar, you’ll enjoy eminently useful slope-shoulder tone onstage and in the studio.





V-Class bracing and ES-2 electronics





This Custom Grand Pacific is powered by Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing. V-Class top bracing supplies the perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility. It helps the guitar produce more volume and facilitates better projection ? it even improves harmonic intonation. Further, the onboard electronics enable you to perform onstage with your Custom Grand Concert. Another Taylor innovation, ES-2 electronics provide lifelike acoustic tones that no other onboard pickup system can emulate.
