Rare Woods – The Taylor NAMM 2022 “Custom Catch” Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar featuring Cocobolo and Sinker Redwood, Number 1 of 20 Made
At the annual Winter NAMM Show – the National Association of Music Merchants – in 2022, Taylor Guitars invited us to participate in a special event showcasing unique Taylor acoustic guitars. These models were created with exotic woods and materials rarely available and prized by guitar-builders and players alike. Only a small number of these special models could be produced, and they certainly showcase the skill of Taylor’s Custom Shop craftsmen. 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.
