Taylor “Build to Order” Madagascar Dreadnought SOLD

Taylor "Build to Order" Madagascar Dreadnought SOLD

We have gone mad again; mad about Madagascar with our newest Dreadnought from Taylor’s Build to Order program! Madagascar rosewood is as close as you can get in tone and visual appearance to the famed Brazilian rosewood, but without as hefty a price tag. This is why many builders are opting to use Madagascar as a high end tone wood choice. In addition to the beautiful set of Madagascar rosewood, this guitar features a light blonde and tight grained premium Engelmann spruce top, Adirondack braces, ebony binding on the body, neck and peghead, 1 11/16″ nut width and the ever so smooth Gold Gotoh 510 tuners.

Fine lines are laser etched on to the inlay pieced, creating some fantastic looking detail patterns. I had the opportunity to see these inlay pieces as they were under development during my visit to the Taylor factory this summer. I’ll post another link to the article covering the factory tour at the bottom of this page. For now, let’s take a closer look at each of the new Fall Limiteds!
