Taylor Limited Edition Builders' Reserve Series III Guitar/Amp Package

A craftsman-inspired guitar/amp pairing.




The first of several series of Builder’s Reserve
acoustic guitar/amp pairings, a guitar and custom wood cabinet for the
amp were designed together, bonded by matching wood and aesthetic
elements. The limited-release Taylor ES acoustic amplifier is a 40-watt
acoustic amp designed to provide a natural extension of our Expression
System pickup and preamp. The ES Amp™ is optimized for ES-equipped
guitars, which makes it remarkably transparent and simple to use since
you shape your tone using the ES controls on the guitar (the only
control on the amp is a volume knob).


The guitar is a cutaway GS
featuring a back and sides of beautiful flatsawn flamed mahogany, a
European spruce top, a flamed mahogany neck, and our first-ever flamed
maple armrest and binding. The European spruce, which is difficult to
procure, sounds wonderful paired with a mahogany GS body. “It has an
Adirondack-like attack,” explains Taylor guitar designer Andy Powers.
“It’s got huge, punchy volume with good headroom, but also with thick,
rich overtones. It’s like a cross between Engelmann and Adirondack
spruce.”


Andy designed custom fretboard and headstock inlays,
drawing inspiration from the residential architecture of the Greene
brothers, whose early 20th century bungalow-style houses in Southern
California, including Pasadena’s famed Gamble House, stand out as iconic
expressions within the American Craftsman-style movement. The “Pasadena
Torch” inlay design, in flamed maple and bubinga, was also incorporated
into the amp cabinet, and the decorative design also was guided by the
Greene Arts and Crafts aesthetic of furniture design.


The cabinet
is made of solid, flamed maple — which relates to the maple binding
around the guitar — with inset side panels of flamed mahogany laminate
to match the guitar’s back, sides and neck. The panels incorporate the
Pasadena Torch inlay motif to match the guitar’s fretboard. The guitar
and amp are offered together as an acoustic package, and only 30 have
been made. Together, they make an inspiring acoustic partnership that
any player, collector, or wood craftsman will savor
