Here’s a great deal on a New, Old Stock (NOS) Taylor Custom GA in Spruce and Figured Walnut, dating to early 2015 and at a significant price reduction! As the name suggests, the Taylor Custom GA is from Taylor’s Custom programme, sometimes known as BTO or ‘Build To Order’. The GA stands for Grand Auditorium, one of the larger body sizes but smaller than a Jumbo or Dreadnought.

Here we’re looking at a Gibson J-45 Standard in Vintage Sunburst, built at Bozeman Montana late in 2016 as a 2017 model. The J-45 first appeared in 1942 and has been in constant production, except for the 1982-1984 period. It has been one of the most popular instruments for solo, group and vocal accompaniment, providing a full rich sound.

And yes, the ’00’ is two zeros. For being plain, the Gibson L-00 models are remarkably good sounding instruments with a very even representation throughout the tonal range. As with many Gibson models, the top is Spruce. The sides, back, neck, body blocks and linings are mahogany, and the bridge and unbound fingerboard are rosewood.

The ‘GT’ references the Gloss Top finish – the rest of the guitar’s finish is satin. On these models, the fingerboard and bridge are Richlite, and the head plate is Granadillo.
