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 topBLEULAB custom shorts and Lanvin customized oxfords

Speak Now World Tour | Ours/Fifteen | [9/9]

Taylor Guitars ‘K65ce’ – $5598.00 (discontinued)

Once again, Taylor’s exact 12-string guitar is a discontinued series, but the K66ce lives on as its successor. Her 12-string is customized by a gorgeous edgeburst finish to complement her signature koa wood. And, once again, we see here that Taylor favours a Florentine cutaway on her guitar versus the Venetian cutaway seen on the stock model. 

Worn with: Valentino gown

Speak Now World Tour | Long Live | [8/9]

Taylor Guitars ‘Grand Symphony GS6’ – $2998.00 (discontinued)

I’m sure a lot of you know this story, but this is one of Taylor’s better known – if not most known – guitars.

It debuted way back in 2007 for the “Our Song” music video and has been a staple during Taylor’s shows since then. The guitar itself is actually a black Grand Symphony that was customized by individually gluing on Swarovski crystals. Eventually, Taylor added a ‘13’ on the headstock to individualize it even further.

Taylor’s exact GS6 model is now discontinued but Taylor Guitars continues to carry other Grand Symphonies. 

Worn with: Jenny Packham dress and Everybody boots

Speak Now World Tour | Surprise Song/You Belong With Me | [5/9]

Taylor Guitars ‘Grand Auditorium Custom Guitar’ – $9318.00+

Taylor has had this guitar since her childhood and is a custom Presentation Series Grand Auditorium acoustic guitar. Composed of Taylor’s signature koa wood, this acoustic has also been fitted with a Byzantine inlay in the neck – another of Taylor’s signatures – as well as her name and a Florentine cutaway.

A standard Grand Auditorium runs for the above retailed price, but Taylor’s is easily worth a few thousand more than that with all her modiciations.

Taylor Guitars ‘Koi Living Jewels’ – $9500.00 (limited edition, no longer available)

Taylor has owned this particular guitar since she was 17 and a producer gifted it to her while she was recording her self-titled album. Created as part of a trio series that combined extremely intricate aquatic animal-inspired inlays with Taylor Guitars’ signature handmade craftsmanship, only 100 of each of the three guitars was ever made.
