Custom Shop Monterey Mod

This Tacoma Custom Shop Series V guitar sounds even better than it looks, if that is possible. It's wearing an Amazon top, which is nearly 2,000 years old, and the sides and back are of Claro Walnut. The exquisite Purfling and Flamed Koa Binding all around the Body and Ebony Fretboard truly accent the beauty of the Walnut. This ancient Cedar top, which is extremely dense, when paired with the Claro Walnut, produces a fat, sweet tone that is evenly balanced with great depth.

Hello Mick,

The Tacoma V series Monterey is possibly the best guitar I have ever owned, I have had 6 Martins, 3 Taylors and several old Gibsons. The beauty and grain of the wood is magnifico and the sound seems to ring forever.  The finger picking articulation is fab. Thanks for doing the sound comparison, If you hadn't spent that time with me I might have bought another Taylor. I still have a Taylor 12 string and I can tell you it will be on Ebay by this weekend.  I am quite upset at Guitar Center for selling me those Taylors. I realize now that they are nothing but mass produced bolt on neck junk.
