AT&T Taylor Swift Now commercial (x) | September 7, 2017

Gibson ‘Custom J-185 Acoustic Guitar’ – not available for purchase

From the limited knowledge I know about guitars, this appears to be the same body as the Gibson acoustic that Taylor strums in her latest commercial with AT&T. 

Given the star fret inlays and all-white paint job, my best guess is that Taylor’s guitar is a custom.

Performing “Ghost Town” with Madonna | iHeartRadio Music Awards | March 29, 2015

Gibson ‘J-180 Acoustic Guitar’ – $3049.00 (Bille Joe Armstrong version)

During last night’s performance I was quite intrigued by what seemed like a new addition to Taylor’s guitar roster (looking forward to seeing what she brings to the table instrument-wise on the 1989 World Tour!).

While it’s common knowledge that Taylor’s preferred acoustic guitar brand is Taylor Guitars it’s also not out of the norm for her to pick up a Gibson. But this one is apparently actually Madonna’s and Taylor borrowed it for the performance. 

Note: I’m no guitar expert and I’m still tracking down the exact model as this one differs from the standard J-180 as this one lacks the double pickguards normally seen on most models. It has been noted that Madonna has played the Everly Brothers LImited Edition version of this guitar. 

Worn with: Greg Lauren dress, Wolford tights and Christian Louboutin boots

Keds ads | Spring 2014

Gibson ‘J-200 New Vintage Acoustic Guitar’ – $5049.00 (starting price)

When Taylor isn’t strumming her preferred Taylor Guitars she’s usually rocking out on a Gibson electric. In this case, she’s picked up a Gibson acoustic guitar.

From what I can tell of the screencaps taken from the behind-the-scenes video, this her acoustic guitar from this Keds ad. Distinctive by its Moustache bridge, crown inlays and the shape of the pickguard as well as the similarity of the apparent designs from the blurry BTS screenshots.

Worn with: Michael Kors top and Keds sneakers

The RED Tour | State of Grace/Holy Ground/Red | [1/11]

Gibson ‘Les Paul Special SIngle Cut Vos’ – price not listed

For acoustics, Taylor always picks her stand-by Taylor Guitars. But for electrics, Taylor has turned to Gibson. Her Les Paul is customized by forgoing the floyd rose as well as the traditional Gibson trapezoid inlays and choosing dot inlays instead as well as choosing black metal barrel knobs over the gold top-hats in the stock version. And, similarly to the Les Paul from the Speak Now Tour, Taylor chose to not include a pickguard or identification plates on the headstock. 

And, the most obvious customization, hundreds of red crystals were added to the guitar for a sparkle factor. 

Worn with: Marina Toybina custom top (#1)/Marina Toybina custom top (#2)/Cut25 by Yigal Azrouel top, BLEULAB custom shorts and Lanvin customized oxfords
