Taylor has a long history of introducing compelling tonewood flavours to the world — red ironbark (Urban Ironbark) is sourced in Southern California through Taylor's urban wood initiative. After exploring and falling in love with its acoustic
properties, master builder Andy Powers has paired ironbark back and sides with a torrefied spruce top and deployed a new voicing recipe — shaped by Taylor's V-Class bracing — to bring another uniquely enticing tone profile to the Taylor line.
- Crafted with backs and sides of solid Urban Ironbark, a tonewood with a muscular, piano-like response that remains exceptionally balanced across the frequency spectrum
- Urban Ironbark is sourced responsibly through Taylor's Urban Woods initiative, which also brought Urban Ash to the guitar world
- Topped with torrefied Sitka spruce for an aged-in, mature sonic depth
- Grand Concert is a smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle
- Visual appointments include a glossy back-and-side stain that draws out Urban Ironbark’s reddish hues, along with Aerial inlays in Italian acrylic and faux pearl, faux tortoiseshell binding and pickguard, a single-ring abalone rosette trimmed with maple and black acrylic, and Taylor nickel tuners
