Part of the pleasure of being a guitar enthusiast is envisioning one’s
dream guitar(s). In recent years, we’ve taken it upon ourselves
to make those guitar dreams tangible through the Taylor Build to
Order program. Our goal is simple: to use our wood resources and
design expertise to help you create a Taylor that’s truly your own.
The program is based on three key ideas: choice, support and
turnaround. Starting with choice, our BTO menu features about 40
separate categories from which to choose, from amazing grades of
exotic woods to custom neck profiles to a rich palette of inlay, bind-
ing and purfling options. Next is support. With the many available
options, you might have questions along the way, and we’re more
than happy to answer them. We’ve also brought a good number
of our dealers out to the Taylor complex to spend time with Bob
Taylor and our BTO team and learn firsthand about BTO options,
giving you an additional resource, since you’ll place your BTO order
through your dealer. Last is turnaround time. We reserve daily build
slots for BTO guitars because you shouldn’t have to wait six months
or more. This means that orders are fulfilled in around eight weeks.
Our Build to Order program
doesn’t just cover our steel-
string acoustics. It includes
nylon-strings, the T5 and the
T3, too. Our menu of options
may change on a quarterly
basis, based on the availability
of woods. In 2010, new BTO
options for acoustic guitars
include an armrest or a head-
stock backstrap, plus the ability
to order a custom 9-string, 12-
fret or baritone guitar. New op-
tions for the T5 and T3 include
the availability of maple, koa or
ebony binding. For a listing of BTO categories, check our Specifica-
tions pages in the back of the Guitar Guide.
