Exquisite artisan tonewoods
This Custom Catch’s emphasis on exemplary tonewood cuts ensures a memorable sound with a look that matches! The top is carved from Lutz spruce and fitted with V-Class bracing for boosted clarity, power, and presence. Lutz spruce is a relatively new hybridization of several spruce species that makes for an excellent soundboard. Show-stopping back and sides carved from figured bigleaf maple complement spruce’s power with an extremely quick response that highlights nuances in your playing, especially when fingerpicking. Furthermore, a hard-rock maple neck and short-scale ebony fingerboard provide masterful support as you play. Between the frets, the ebony fingerboard is laced with ornate shell inlays for attention-grabbing appeal that’s destined to be the talk of the town!
Effortless Grand Concert playability
One of Taylor’s iconic guitar shapes, the player-friendly Grand Concert body style combines modest dimensions and a short-scale fingerboard for matchless comfort onstage or off! The Grand Concert sings with a chiseled tone, outsized projection, and an impressive dynamic range, making it especially popular with solo artists and studio players. A maneuverable size and responsive sound let players relax and exert less while still making their musical point, which leaves surplus energy for putting toward singing, technique, and accurate play. What’s more, for better access to upper frets, Custom Catch #7 also features Taylor’s signature Venetian cutaway.
Even more extras: Taylor ES2 electronics and the TaylorSense system
From the first pluck to the final touch of sustain, the Custom Catch #7 oozes supplemental acoustic tone. As a result, Taylor equipped it with its proprietary Expression System 2 (ES2) for maximum instrumental authenticity. At the core of the ES2 is a precisely calibrated pickup resting behind the saddle for responsive, accurate capture and an enhanced dynamic range. On the body, three soft-touch control knobs ensure simple management over volume, treble, and bass output for essential fine-tuning, and a built-in phase switch on the preamp supplies an easy fix to live frequency feedback. It's all topped off with the company's renowned TaylorSense system, providing the status of your instrument's humidity, battery life, temperature, and impact for immediate maintenance and performance feedback.
