Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Catch Custom #31 C12e combines a sinker redwood top with bocote back and sides in Taylor's compact Grand Concert format. Its focused, articulate voice and controlled overtones are presented as a strong match for intricate fingerstyle and lead work, including recording situations where the guitar needs to sit alongside other instruments. V-Class bracing supports volume, sustain and intonation. ES2 electronics add adjustable amplified control, a feedback-reducing phase switch and TaylorSense condition monitoring. Worldwide availability is limited to 20.

Who this is for
