Taylor NAMM 2022 Custom Catch Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar - East Indian Rosewood, West Red Cedar

Experience Chuck Levin's Collaboration with Taylor's Custom Shop - The Taylor NAMM 2022 Custom Catch Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Featuring East Indian Rosewood and West Red Cedar Tonewoods

At the annual Winter NAMM Show (National Association of Music Merchants) in 2022, Taylor Guitars invited several dealers to participate in a special event showcasing unique Taylor acoustic guitars. Most of the models on display were created with exotic woods and materials that are so rarely used in the music industry, only a small number of these specialized guitars were produced. Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center was at this event, and we were able to acquire several of these beautiful instruments to showcase and sell to the general public.
