The Taylor Custom #4 C24ce B6004 Grand Auditorium is a standout Custom Shop Grand Auditorium built as a special NAMM 2026 Catch Event showcase instrument, designed to highlight Taylor’s highest level of modern craftsmanship, design, and tonal refinement.
At its core, the Grand Auditorium body shape gives this NAMM-exclusive build its signature versatility. It delivers a carefully balanced response that works equally well for fingerstyle articulation and full strumming dynamics. The Florentine cutaway adds both a sharp visual edge and effortless access to the upper frets, reinforcing its role as a performance-focused showcase guitar.
Tonally, the all neo-tropical mahogany construction defines the voice with warmth, immediacy, and a strong midrange focus. It produces a dry, articulate sound with excellent note separation and a naturally controlled character. Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances this foundation by increasing sustain, improving harmonic alignment, and creating a more open and expressive response than traditional bracing patterns.
Visually, this NAMM 2026 piece stands out with its solid Terra Cotta finish, an earthy, clay-like color that gives the instrument a bold and memorable identity. The gloss finish adds depth and dimensionality, while figured Hawaiian koa binding and backstrap bring natural contrast and a sense of luxury craftsmanship. The koa and boxwood rosette around the bound soundhole adds another layer of intricate detail that reinforces its custom-grade status.
The ebony fretboard and peghead veneer made from West African Crelicam ebony provide a clean and refined visual foundation. The S-curve inlays in koa and boxwood introduce a flowing artistic motif across the fingerboard, while the matching appointments on the headstock and polished bronze hardware complete a cohesive, premium aesthetic.
In the hands, the guitar feels responsive and well-balanced. The standard carve neck profile with a 1-3/4" nut width and 25-1/2" scale length offers a comfortable and familiar playing experience. At 4 lbs 8 oz, the instrument is light enough to resonate freely while still feeling solid and substantial.
Equipped with the L.R. Baggs Element VTC system, this NAMM 2026 Custom Shop Grand Auditorium translates its acoustic character faithfully when amplified, preserving its warmth, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity on stage.
Overall, this is a presentation-level instrument, combining modern acoustic engineering, premium tonewoods, and exhibition-grade detailing into a guitar built not just for playing, but for showcasing at one of the industry’s most important events.
