Taylor Custom Shop Grand Pacific Western Red Cedar and Walnut
This is a Taylor Grand Pacific built from tonewood that we handpicked at the Taylor factory in El Cajon, California. We went with a Grand Pacific body shape built of western red cedar for the top paired with walnut for the back and sides as well as a figured mahogany neck! Walnut is similar to koa in its density and stiffness that give a bright and snappy treble, but there’s a more present midrange that ‘splits the difference between rosewood and mahogany’. The western red cedar is less dense than spruce and has a nice softness to it – there’s a bit of a ceiling to the volume of cedar that acts like a natural compressor as you drive it harder. For cosmetics, we went a unique way with this guitar: eye-catching bloodwood for the binding and rosette, with Diamond fretboard inlays carved from bloodwood and ivoroid.
