A Limited Edition Set from Taylor's Private Reserves

The Taylor Limited Edition BR-III Acoustic-electric Guitar and Amp Set brings you the finest tonewoods, appointments, and quality that Taylor can provide. Part of Taylor's Builder's Reserve Series, the BR-III Set uses Taylor's private wood reserves to create a stunning match between instrument and amplifier. You get a unique GS acoustic-electric guitar with flatsawn flamed mahogany back and sides adorned with a European spruce top, a flamed mahogany neck, and Taylor's first-ever flamed maple armrest and binding. A very special 40-watt ES combo amplifier completes the set, with a cabinet made from solid flamed maple to match the guitar - and it's a perfect match for Taylor's Expression System pickup and preamp. So if you like the sound of a Taylor, and appreciate their top-notch craftsmanship, you'll love the Taylor Limited Edition BR-III Acoustic-electric Guitar and Amp Set!

Taylor Limited Edition BR-III Acoustic-electric Guitar and Amp Set at a Glance:
  • Amazingly appointed GS acoustic-electric guitar
  • Matching amplifier, optimized for Taylor ES electronics
  • Incredibly collectible, only 30 sets being made


Amazingly appointed GS acoustic-electric guitar
The GS acoustic-electric guitar Taylor created for this special guitar and amp set features premium tonewoods pulled from Taylor's private wood reserves. You could easily spend hours exploring the nuances of the flatsawn flamed mahogany back and sides (topped with European spruce for incredible tone), the flamed mahogany neck, and the flamed maple armrest and binding. Look closer, and you'll be captivated by intricate details like the "Pasadena Torch" inlay design created by Taylor guitar designer Andy Powers. It's made from flamed maple and bubinga, incorporated with love into the fretboard.

Matching amplifier, optimized for Taylor ES electronics
The Taylor Limited Edition BR-III Set includes a beautifully collectible 40-watt combo amplifier, optimized to reinforce the transparent sound of Taylor's ES electronics. The sound is pure, and the design is breathtaking. The amp's cabinet is made from solid flamed maple, chosen to match the maple binding around the GS guitar. Flamed mahogany laminate insets match the guitar's back, sides, and neck, and feature the same Pasadena Torch inlay found on the guitar. And because these very special amps will only be available in this limited edition set, you'll be the owner of a collectible piece of Taylor history.

Incredibly collectible, only 30 sets being made
Due to the scarcity of the premium woods used in the Taylor BR-III Set, as well as the incredible craftsmanship required, only 30 sets will be made. Call Sweetwater today for your chance to own this extraordinarily beautiful - and wonderfully playable - limited edition guitar and amp set.
