Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The C17e Catch Custom #9 brings Taylor’s deep-body Grand Pacific format together with a bearclaw Sitka spruce top and figured big leaf maple back and sides under a transparent black finish. Its acoustic design is described as broad and powerful, with clear note separation and focused projection. For amplified work, the LR Baggs Element VTC system is controlled from the soundhole. The neo-tropical mahogany Action Control neck allows string-height adjustment without removing the neck or loosening the strings, while the included hardshell case supports transport and storage.

- Stage or recording setups that need onboard LR Baggs Element VTC amplification.
- Players seeking a deep-body Grand Pacific with a bearclaw spruce top and figured maple body.
