Taylor Custom GSCE, Sinker Redwood/Premium East Indian Rosewood

Our Taylor friends, Roxanne and Barney, specially selected the Sinker Redwood and the Premium East Indian Rosewood that this guitar was crafted with! The Sinker Redwood was salvaged from the bottom of the Mendocino River in California. It lay there, at the river’s bottom, for over 150 years; and it continuously absorbed minerals from the flowing waters. This resulted in a beautiful striping in the grain of the now quarter-sawn planks, and is strikingly evident when you enjoy the pictures.

Tonally, this guitar is rich and clear and vibrant, with just the right amount of sustain. The blank fingerboard beautifully accommodates the guitar’s short scale; and the tasteful 900 Series bridge inlay and the Antique Gold Gotoh 510Z tuning machines perfectly complete this Custom instrument’s statement of elegance!

Retail Price: $4641 — Wildwood's Price: $2799!

Taylor Custom GACE, Sinker Redwood/Premium East Indian Rosewood

Tonally, this guitar is even more than you would expect from the Taylor folks. Yes, there is that beautiful responsiveness and clarity; but this Sinker top really “pushes” your sounds! The Bass is more precise and punchier with the Redwood than Cedar would be, and it blends masterfully with mid-range notes. Meanwhile, as you play treble leads up the neck, the sustain of bass and mids enriches and masterfully colors your musical idea! The blank fingerboard more than adequately accommodates the guitar’s short scale; and the tasteful 900 Series bridge inlay, along with the Antique Gold Gotoh 510Z tuning machines, elegantly complete this Custom instrument’s statement of acoustic precision!

Retail Price: $4641 — Wildwood's Price: $2799!

Taylor Steven Curtis Chapman Signature Model-GA

Taylor's very popular "Praise" guitar begins as a 714; but, mysteriously, the similarity to the regular 700-series instrument ends when you first massage its strings! The burst of beautifully-blended harmonies intertwines with your devotional vocals, and you are absorbed into a very special spirituality!

Oh, alright, the description may be a "little" over the top; but this IS a fabulous-sounding and playing guitar, and will be readily affirmed by our many new friends who have received one of these from Wildwood!

Its Cedar Top blends so seamlessly in tone with its beautiful East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides.

This is one of Taylor's finest!! This spectacular guitar has returned, in 2011, to the glory of former years, with the re-introduction of the Cindy inlay motif on the fingerboard, bridge, and headstock! Also, it is made with a golden, clear, Sitka Spruce top, and the binding is again that beautiful Rosewood, replacing the grained Ivoroid!

Made with East Indian Rosewood, and Sitka Spruce, this powerful Dreadnought is completed with Flamed Maple binding on the body, on the neck, and around the headstock. The 800-series fingerboard inlays enhance the elegance of this guitar! But don't stop here! Pick on this with authority, and be thoroughly delighted with its power and balance! All this wonderfulness, and supreme playability, too!

Taylor GC8, East Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce

This is the re-designed Grand Concert body with the Short Scale and Slotted headstock. The closer scale length makes the guitar easier to play, and the headstock brings the strings back at a steeper angle, putting more tension on the strings. This genius combination produces an extremely comfortable fretboard experience, and a very strong string response! This is a special treat to play, to hold next to you; your original music will literally pour out of this elegant Grand Concert Taylor!

Taylor 812 CE

We have enjoyed the short scale models so much that we decided to add this wonderful model to our inventory! The comfort and ease of play allows you to "cuddle up" and play for hours on end! The seeming mountains of sound coming out of this small guitar will amaze and please you!

Taylor 814 CE

Striking flamed Maple body binding accentuates the beauty of the East Indian Rosewood. The Sitka Spruce top is of a very high grade. The lovely fingerboard inlays point the way to delightful harmonies.

Taylor 816CE

This Grand Symphony (GS) size truly combines the best ideas from the classic Dreadnought sound, which many of us grew up listening to, and such enjoyable comfort from the body shape similarity to that of the Grand Auditorium (GA) Taylor! You first become joyfully overwhelmed by the glorious burst of sound, and realize that your arm doesn't hurt from stretching it over the guitar body, because its narrow waist fits so perfectly on your knee!

This guitar fingerpicks, and loves to respond merrily to a solid flatpick, as well! And the Traditional East Indian Rosewood/Sitka Spruce combination, chosen from very premium woods, both reminds you of past musical memories and inspires you to write fresh, new ones to perform in your future!

Taylor 816CE, Cedar

Marty and I both love the sound of fine Western Red Cedar, so we elected to "Modify A Model" and asked our Taylor luthiers to make the 816CE topped with this warmer and rounder-sounding wood. We love the way it enhances the familiar clear and sparkling Taylor tones, and have great joy in their ebullient flow! Yes, the 716CE has this same wood combo, but the 816CE boasts higher quality tonewoods, gorgeous pearl inlays on the fingerboard, a beautiful Figure Maple binding on the body, neck, and headstock for just a little bit more money.

Marty's keen eye for a wonderful bargain shrewdly chose this modification, since your extra cost for this "upgrade" from Wildwood is only $168! (Total Retail for these upgrades is $1,440.00, through the Build To Order shop!). Perhaps you will want to share in our attraction to this wonderful instrument, too!

Taylor 714 CE

With a beautiful Cedar Top, and East Indian Rosewood, this wonderful guitar also combines with the fabulous Expression System, making it a great choice!

Taylor GS Maple, with ES

Grand Symphony, Big Leaf Maple and Sitka Spruce—with the Expression System! Our customers have commented on their surprise at the "bigness" of the bass, and the retention of very clear mids and treble ranges of this spectacular Maple!

Retail Price: $3398 — Wildwood's Price: $1998!

Taylor 514 CE

What a warm and robust tone this Genuine Mahogany (from Central America) creates! The tight-grained Cedar top is the perfect complement to this fine wood!

Taylor GC-5

The precisely-crafted slotted headstock creates the right amount of extra tension, and joins with the American Mahogany back and sides and Cedar top to bear out a crisp, warm sound as you caress its strings!

Taylor 414CE

We were originally accustomed, when Bob Taylor introduced this Ovangkol guitar, to present the 414 as a surrogate for his Rosewood version. After all, this "new" instrument wood possessed a similar density, and delivered a more nuanced sound than that of Mahogany, which was what Taylor's 314 guitars were made with. But now we find that this model is becoming a wonderfully-treasured choice of players, on its own sound and visual merits. Play it soon, and let us know what you think of the tonal response, as you put this remarkable creation through its acoustic paces! You won't be disappointed, and may fall in "musical love" all over again!

Taylor 416 CE, Ovangkol/Spruce

Bigger is not always better, and beauty is in the beholder's eye; but you will be hard-pressed not to be drawn in by the grace and allure of this Grand Symphony Taylor! Do you enjoy alternative tunings, or prefer a full range of sounds that combines clear articulation with convincing power? This instrument encompasses, but does not boom; it produces clear mids and trebles that are beautiful, but not too jangly. All this, plus the familiar Taylor comfort at you feel, as you rest this special treasure on your knee! Need we mention the superior playability of the spectacular Taylor neck?

Taylor 314 CE

Taylor's winning combination of Sapele wood for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top takes charge of your guitar budget! This instrument has that wonderful combination of great sound and the right price!

Taylor Fall Limited GACE All Highly-Figured Koa! SOLD!

This beautiful reddish-brown wood is produced by a tree that will be available for use after about 30 years of growth! The Hawaiians are now making better use of this wood than using it for making dugout canoes. Some of the flowers the trees produce are used to make a nectar drink by the native peoples, bu they mostly sell this wood for instruments and cabinetry. I sure am glad the wood used for this GACE was not made into a kitchen enclosure! It sounds so much better than it would as a holder of oatmeal and canned corn! It certainaly is beautiful, and one strum will convince you that Bob Taylor certainly made a fine choice in this fantastic Limited Edition!

Taylor Fall Limited GACE Cocobolo/Sitka Spruce

The sounds of this beautiful Cocobolo wood reminds us so very much of its much more expensive relative, Brazilian Rosewood. Cocobolo is a bit denser, tends to sustain a little more than other Rosewood Species, and the Sitka Spruce top allows the lingering bass, mids, and trebles to really explode as they make their way throught the solid woods!

Taylor Custom GSCE, Secret Amazon Rosewood, Set #3 - SOLD

Choosing an elegant blank fingerboard, we thought the perfect complement was a "900" series bridge inlay.

Taylor GSCE, Cocobolo/Sitka Spruce, Fall 2009 Limited Edition - SOLD

The finest Cocobolo Rosewood is paired with Premium Sitka Spruce on this Limited Edition. The top is braced with Adirondack Spruce, which is very "springy", and very responsive to every playing style. CV especially-routed bracing pattern increases the dynamic range of this powerful instrument. Cocobolo tends to produce a very pleasing bass response, because the wood is so dense. With the consistently clear tone that Taylors are so well-known for, this guitar has a very beautiful balance of sound. Each of these guitars has Figured Maple bindings, which really accentuate the rare and stunning Cocobolo. A glossy, peghead backstrap is an added plus. The Gotoh 510Z Antique Gold tuning machines possess a 21:1 high gear ratio! Finally, the bone nut and saddle (to enhance the acoustic volume) and the Expression System (along with the Venetian Cutaway), give Fall Limited devotees an excellent, exciting new offering from Taylor Guitars!

Wildwood's Price: $3198! SOLD!

Taylor 414 CE Walnut, Spring 2011 Limited Edition--SOLD!

This year's version is different from last year in that it sports a Cedar top for a splash of extra warmth!
