Taylor NAMM Custom #39: Madera Regal – Grand Auditorium, Torrefied Sitka Spruce and Katalox with Hard Shell Case, 1 of 20

The Taylor NAMM Custom #39 Madera Regal – A Unique Tonewood Masterpiece with Exceptional Articulation

Premium Tonewoods for Balanced, Refined Sound

The Taylor NAMM Custom #39 Madera Regal is a rare and stunning Grand Auditorium acoustic guitar, expertly crafted with an uncommon tonewood pairing. Its back and sides are made from katalox, an incredibly dense and resonant wood also known as Mexican Royal Ebony, providing clear, articulate mids and sparkling trebles. The torrefied Sitka spruce top enhances this tonal character by adding warmth and a played-in sweetness, resulting in a responsive guitar that delivers both depth and clarity across the frequency spectrum.

V-Class Bracing for Superior Sustain and Projection

This custom Grand Auditorium model is built with Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, an innovative design that enhances volume, sustain, and intonation. By optimizing the way the top vibrates, V-Class bracing allows notes to ring out with greater harmonic consistency and balance across the fretboard. Whether strummed aggressively or played with a delicate touch, this guitar responds with exceptional clarity and power.

Elegant Craftsmanship with Hawaiian Koa Appointments

In addition to its refined tone, the Madera Regal showcases exquisite detailing that highlights Taylor’s world-class craftsmanship. Hawaiian koa Split Diamond inlays adorn the fretboard, while a koa and ebony rosette adds a subtle yet sophisticated touch to the soundhole. Koa edge trim and a matching peghead logo further enhance the organic visual appeal. Satin black tuners with custom ebony buttons and delicate koa inlays complete the guitar’s understated yet luxurious aesthetic.

Comfortable Playability with a Satin Mahogany Neck

The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor’s Standard Carve profile, offering a smooth and comfortable playing experience. Finished in satin for an effortless feel, the neck allows for easy transitions across the West African Crelicam ebony fretboard. A 25.5-inch scale length and 1-3/4-inch nut width provide the ideal balance of string spacing and playability for both fingerstyle players and flatpickers.

Stage-Ready Performance with ES2 Electronics

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup, this guitar is ready for the stage and studio. The ES2 captures the natural warmth and dynamic response of the guitar’s acoustic tone with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that every nuance is faithfully reproduced when amplified. Whether plugged in or played unplugged, the Taylor NAMM Custom #39 Madera Regal delivers a rich, expressive voice suited for any musical setting.
