Taylor C18 B6022 Catch Custom #22 Grand Orchestra Acoustic Guitar, Bearclaw Spruce/Indian Rosewood

A truly limited piece from El Cajon's finest, we've got this Taylor C18 B6022 Catch Custom Grand Orchestra acoustic guitar featuring a keen tonewood combo of Bearclaw Sitka spruce and AA Indian rosewood. This custom piece hails from an exclusive Taylor Guitars dealer event held at the 2026 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California and features an extremely limited mix of woods and appointments to make for a guitar truly one-of-a-kind.

Following in the great build traditions of Taylor Guitars with plenty of classy spins and breaks from convention, this Catch Custom Taylor takes flight. Starting first with a Taylor Grand Orchestra non-cutaway body, this guitar features a high-quality tonewood combination of Bearclaw Sitka spruce and AA Indian rosewood. Bearclaw Sitka, a variety of prized North American Sitka spruce known for its interesting, irregular streaking patterns, presents a warm, bright, chirping top-end profile to match the rich, complex, AA-graded Indian rosewood. This guitar's voice is built up by Taylor's Advanced Performance bracing that delivers great projection and mid-range voicing with traditional hot hide glue adhesive.

Reaching out, this Grand Orchestra brings on a mahogany neck. Satin-finished for a smooth feel in the palm, this neck matches with a Taylor West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard for an effortless fretting experience. Throughout this fingerboard, a good couple visual flourishes are found. Across the frets, Taylor features a seldom-seen fret inlay design, their "LB" style, a design originally crafted by Larry Breedlove during his time with Taylor Guitars. A combination of bloodwood and Mother of Pearl gives these frets a rich, crimson color and intricate look close-up. These frets are matched by an "LB" rosette also with a Mother of Pearl and bloodwood combo.

Across the rest of this Catch Custom model, we're treated to a quite a few other artistic flourishes. One for visuals and playability, Gotoh 510 Antique Gold tuning machines land at the headstock. A bone nut accompanies for easy stringing. At the 25.5" scale's opposite end, a West African Crelicam ebony bridge lands with a bone saddle. Bone bridge pins punctuate this bridge with red Australian opal dots to match the rest of the model's red shade. Bloodwood tops off the rest of this Grand Orchestra making up its binding, back purfling, and armrest. Landing at a guitar that presents a deep, velvety aesthetic and total satin finish to match, this Catch Custom Grand Orchestra is truly an instrument to get wrapped up in. This custom model travels with a Taylor Deluxe hardshell case with a Western Floral vinyl exterior.

Seeing red? We don't blame you. Swipe this all-original, Larry Breedlove-approved custom Grand Orchestra and make your vision a reality!
