Why this one made the wall

#1204026056

With a long history of inspiring players across genres and styles, Taylor's flagship Grand Auditorium now showcases even more player-focused design elements. This model sports the beloved pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, which yield a lush overtone profile to complement top-end clarity and a rich bass range. Inside, our scalloped V-Class bracing framework dials up more power, longer sustain and improved harmony between notes all the way up the fretboard. Other upgrades include a radius-style rosewood armrest, the long-tenon Action Control Neck for unmatched adjustability and resonance, and new Claria electronics, which feature soundhole-mounted controls and a mid-contour knob that makes it easy to dial in the perfect amplified sound. Other details include Element fretboard inlays, a rosewood pickguard, maple binding and a full-body gloss finish. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
