Taylor Custom Grand Concert "Monument" Acoustic Guitar with Brown Deluxe Hard Shell Case

The Taylor Custom Grand Concert "Monument": Art Deco Elegance Meets Fingerstyle Clarity

Compact 12-fret Grand Concert body for expressive playability

Crafted with the discerning fingerstyle player in mind, the Taylor Custom Grand Concert "Monument" features a 12-fret neck design that rewards dynamic playing. Its small-bodied Grand Concert silhouette emphasizes articulation and tonal balance, making it ideal for nuanced expression, light touch dynamics, and detailed work.

Rare tonewood pairing: sinker cypress and black limba

This exquisite build features a sinker cypress top, known for its responsiveness and clarity, paired with solid black limba back and sides for a warm, resonant low-end and defined mids. The result is a rich, vibrant tonal profile that offers both delicacy and depth. V-Class bracing enhances sustain and intonation, giving this custom guitar remarkable projection for its size.

Visual artistry with custom inlays and accents

The "Monument" takes its name from its Art Deco design language, displayed beautifully through the custom Euro Deco fingerboard inlays, cocobolo binding, and the single-ring rosette made from boxwood and cocobolo. The shaded edgeburst finish adds depth and contrast to the sinker cypress top, while details like the ebony and cocobolo back strip and tuner buttons give this instrument a refined, heirloom-worthy character.

Stage-ready with L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics

Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system, this guitar delivers studio-quality amplified tone. The discreet volume and tone controls allow for fine adjustment without disrupting the guitar’s clean visual lines, making it just as at home on the stage as it is in a quiet practice room or recording session.

Crafted in the USA with deluxe appointments

Built in Taylor’s El Cajon Shop, this unique instrument reflects the precision, tone, and innovation Taylor is known for. It ships in a brown Taylor Deluxe hard case for maximum protection and presentation.
