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

Taylor Guitars ‘Grand Auditorium Custom Guitar’ – $9318.00+
As mentioned in this post, this is the original, first version of Taylor’s custom koa guitar that has been with her since the beginning of her career. It has rarely been seen since this photoshoot as Taylor now uses a second version of this custom guitar – including on the current RED Tour.
The two customs differ only by the colour of their tuning pegs and by the pattern of the wood. The Original Koa – seen here – has a ‘v’ pattern whereas the New Koa she uses (linked above) has a straight, horizontal pattern.
Worn with: Chloé dress

Taylor Guitars ‘Gig Bag’ – $50.00 (similar)
With a gig bag this small, Taylor is no doubt carrying a Baby Taylor guitar – an acoustic that is ¾ the size of a normal Dreadnought acoustic. It’s possible she’s even carrying her own Taylor Swift for Taylor Guitars baby Taylor (say that three times fast) but it’s impossible to know as she’s only carried this baby gig bag at airports.
Check out the multiple times Taylor has carried this gig bag here.
Worn with: Ann Taylor top, Rag & Bone booties and Dolce & Gabbana bag
